Green Office
What actually constitutes a “green office”? How does one “green” an office?
There are many questions, articles and ideas about how to make a “green office”. The best explanation comes from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In order for an office to be classified as a green office, your office must be environmentally friendly, using sustainable business products, recycle and strive to use energy efficiently.
The EPA also states that each employee in a typical business office generates 1.5 pounds of waste paper per day. Most of that paper is generated by the copier. The process to produce the copy paper and toner is not very eco-friendly to the environment. The cost to replace toner cartridges and paper for your office is also not very cost friendly. Office Data Management can help your business create a “paperless office”, helping your office save the environment and save your business money. Putting your office on the path to a “green cost effective office”.
The EPA website offers guidelines to “Setting Up a Green Office”
, In the article they discuss one way to reduce the amount of paper your business uses is by storing and sharing your files electronically. They suggest your office conduct “paper audits” to calculate the amount of waste that is generated and work towards becoming “paperless”.
