11 8 Ways to Make a Big Difference Change your office Culture Reusable kitchen supplies Recycle Waste Properly Conduct a Green Audit Provide them with information on how they can reduce waste and conserve resources. Host training sessions and workshops to encourage and motivate them to adopt eco-friendly behaviours. Communication is key to changing your office culture! Often we choose single-use because reusables are not available. However, many workplaces supply reusable kitchen items (such as cups, plates, bowls, metal cutlery, and metal straws). Provide custom-branded reusable bottles to employees to motivate them to ditch plastic bottles and lunch boxes. Try using reusable or recyclable paper cups instead of disposable plastic cups if you have a water cooler. Close the loop by recycling any unnecessary plastics. Implement or improve your office's wastestream by providing clearly labelled and colour-coded recycling bins with clear instructions on what can and cannot be recycled. Check out your local council's recycling programme or look for an organisation that recycles properly. Implement a plastic-free policy that outlines the steps your workplace is taking to reduce single- use plastic waste. Educate employees on the importance of reducing plastic waste and encourage them to participate in the initiative. It helps to know that you are all workin together. Provide incentives to encourage people to stay committed and come up with new creative ways to help. Some local governments provide programmes for businesses; see if there are any local incentives that your company could take advantage of. Choose biodegradable surface cleaning wipes, instead of those made from synthetic materials and plastics. Instead of throwing away empty chemical bottles, fill them up with refill packs. Do some research to find suppliers that align with your values and have a good reputation for ethical and sustainable practices. Check out COS’s range of eco-friendly office solutions! Start by conducting a Green audit to understand the amount and types of waste produced in your workplace. This will help you identify areas where you can reduce single-use plastic waste and develop a plan to implement changes. 1 2 8 3 Implement a Plastic-Free Policy Provide support & incentives Plastic-free cleaning supplies Responsibly source your supplies 4 5 6 7
