It may seem complicated to reduce waste in the workplace, but our team of professionals has some helpful tips for you that will fill your recycling bins, and reduce overall waste.

Creating a Culture of Sustainability

Its employees fuel any significant movement in a company. By creating a culture of sustainability, your office can reach and sustain its goals to reduce its carbon footprint. Start by informing your employees about recycling as soon as you make the option available, and explain to them its positive impact on the environment. Your employees will feel good about making a positive change. You can also make recycling part of the initial training when onboarding new employees. Try conducting a team building exercise at the next general meeting and have appropriate items paired with each waste stream. The Waste Management website provides helpful information on what can and cannot be recycled.

Making Sustainable Behaviors Convenient

Recycling paper is perhaps the most straightforward solution to remedy excess paper waste. There may be recyclable paper ending up in the garbage. Often when a piece of paper ends up in the wrong place, it is because your recycling bin was in the wrong place too. You might ask, where should it be? Make it convenient to recycle by placing recycling bins next to garbage cans. Often it can be in the form of a singular unit, or in a multi-stream system for more central locations such as a common room or kitchen.
