Top Tips for Businesses

1. Sign up to Green Office News for quarterly updates from Envirowise on the latest news for your sector.
2. Call the Envirowise Advice Line (0800 585794) to discuss with an advisor how to identify waste reduction opportunities.
3. Put together an environmental policy and identify an environmental champion.
4. When refurbishing units, don’t throw away fixtures and fittings - some charities take furniture and can re-use or recycle it.
5. Put paper recycling bins in all your offices - a good guide is one bin between six staff.
6. Put a paper recycling bin next to photocopiers.
7. If your printers are single sided - re-use paper in the fax machine. Ideally, you should print double sided.
8. Segregate waste materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, cans, and plastics.
