Ask your office manager and/or procurement specialist if your company is buying recycled products. If not, request that they start. Let them know that there are plenty of recycled-content products available, including: paper, plastic pen holders, file folders and more. The quality of such products is the same or better than virgin material. Also, keep in mind that buying recycled-content products will improve the company's image, after all being "Green" is great! For more information, see the Environmental Protection Agency's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines.
Expanding or Renovating? If your office is being expanded or renovated in the near future, find out if recycled-content construction materials will be used. This is another opportunity for your company to support recycling.
