Your Bridge to Eco-Friendly Office Solutions

The purchase and use of environmentally-friendly products can have a big
impact, and not just on the environment. Buying green affects everything from
worker safety to the bottom line.

Products that are reusable, refillable, more durable or repairable create
less waste and are more cost-effective in the long run than disposable or
single-use products.
Using energy-efficient and water-conserving products saves money and
resources.

When making a purchasing decision, it pays to do a little homework. Consider
the following:

Is the product less hazardous?
Is it reusable or more durable?
Is it made from recycled materials? De we really need to buy virgin
products when the recycled version is just as good?
What happens to the product at the end of its life? Can it be recycled? Will
the manufacturer take the product back? Will it need special disposal?
Does it conserve energy or water?
Is it made from renewable plant-based raw materials?
