In Honor of America Recycles Day, eco-officiency
offers these Paper Recycling and Reduction
Tips
(Boulder, CO)—Eco-officiency offers
these paper recycling and reduction tips
in honor of America Recycles Day, November
15th. U.S. paper producers consume approximately
1 billion trees every year. This amounts
to roughly about 735 pounds of paper annually
for every American office worker. Further,
paper is the No. 1 material that we throw
away in our landfills. For every 100 pounds
of trash we throw away, 35 pounds is paper.
In order to reduce paper in the office and
encourage recycling here are some following
tips:
Use recycled paper
Sustainable stock paper uses half the
trees of normal stock paper. With
tree-free paper alternatives the
production itself is more environmental,
requiring fewer chemicals and energy.
Ask your purchasing manager to
switch to one of these virgin paper
alternatives for your office.
Label Recycle Bins Clearly
Label recycle bins clearly with big
and bold signage or purchase bright
colored bins to tag for recycle
items. This helps workers when
moving fast, to put paper waste
in the right receptacle.
Use Xerox GreenPrint software
Xerox has GreenPrint software for
its solid ink printers, which analyzes
each page of every document sent to
the printer and looks for waste characteristics
(e.g. pages with just a URL, banner
ad, logo, or legal jargon) and then
highlights and removes them. GreenPrint
says using the software could save the
average office more than $90 and 1,400
wasted pages per year.
Print on both sides
Many of the printers today offer
an internal function to print on both
sides of the paper. Check with your
printer manual or information technology
consultant and see if you have this
option.
Reuse one-sided paper
Provide a location in your copy
room and your office for paper that
can be reused on the other blank side.
Employees can use this paper as scrap
paper or as 'test' prints for documents
before the final version is finished.
America Recycles Day (ARD) is sponsored by
the National
Recycling Coalition and is a day that
encourages Americas to recycle and buy recycled
products.
