Here are just a few ideas...
for your workspace...
Why not try our ACS toners
Keep carbon emissions low and support the economy with our UK manufactured toners.
Paper packaging
Swap plastic packaging with paper sustainable 100% polystyrene alternatives.
Non-toxic cleaning products
Environmentally friendly cleaning products use plant-based ingredients.
Use cork
Cork is a long-term renewable resource, non-harmful to trees and assists in the absorption of CO2.
Using our Managed Print Service helps to reduce waste and print costs
you can make to change your Business
Go Paperless
Choose to go paperless with your banking and invoicing – it reduces costs, your carbon footprint and it’s more secure.
Cycle to Work Scheme
To discourage employees from using their cars to commute, why not introduce a cycle to work scheme.
Living walls
The introduction of greenery to the office has a positive impact on our physical health and mental wellbeing.
Work from home
Cut down on unnecessary emissions by allowing employers to work from home when feasible.
Steps you can take outside the office to help the environment…
Do your
food shop online
Having groceries delivered can cut carbon dioxide emissions by at least half, compared to driving to the shops. It’s the equivalent of carpooling, but for food.
Re-fill
your foods
Refill your own containers at any refill bulk buying shop that will have recently opened in your local city or town centre. You'll be supporting your local economy at the same time.
Compost
your food waste
Composting your food waste is a cheap and natural way of turning your kitchen and garden waste into a nutrient rich food for your garden.
Recycle
Recycle Recycle!
Recycling rubbish decreases landfill waste and reduces emissions. Why not consider recycling clothes, toys and books by donating to charity shops too.
Stop using
disposable bags
A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes and most are non-biodegradable.
Switch it
OFF!
Leaving electric items such as computers, audio-visual equipment, and kitchen appliances on standby uses electricity. Make sure you switch off the button or at the mains.
