How to create an ecological office?
Small changes can mean huge savings!
Ecological awareness and a sense of responsibility for natural resources are growing in society. This means that more and more people want to introduce eco-friendly solutions not only to their homes, but also to job spaces. The following ideas may be appropriate for small, medium and large enterprises. The most important factor is consistency in action!
Ecologically from scratch
When choosing a place for an office, it should be noted whether the building is LEED or BREEAM certified; they mean that the premises meet modern standards in ecological construction. If possible, it is better to choose a room with a good supply of daylight - this will save electricity, especially in the winter months. The investment in motion sensors, energy-saving light bulbs and proper heating of the premises will also be quickly returned.
Saving paper
The disadvantage of most office facilities is the huge use of paper. To reduce them, you need to operate on several levels. The paper itself should be recycled or FSC certified. Employees can print on both sides of the page and reduce the margins of documents, so that the text will take up fewer pages. Toners for printers can be supplemented on a regular basis, without having to buy new ones. It is also worth switching to e-invoices.
Recycling
Segregation of waste in the workplace is slowly becoming a standard. Provide your office with well-marked bins for various types of rubbish and make sure employees know the basics of proper recycling. It will also be useful to resign from small, individual baskets at desks to which usually everything goes.
Less water
Installing the dishwasher in the company's kitchen will significantly reduce water consumption. All household appliances - microwave ovens, electric kettles, refrigerators - should be energy-efficient in order to maximize benefits.
Green for health
The easiest way to improve working conditions in the office is to buy pot plants. A popular choice are simple crop species: zamioculcas, spider plant, sansevieria trifasciata, dracaena and aloe vera. They will not only improve the air quality, but will also have a positive effect on the mood of all people in the office. It has been proven that looking at greenery reduces the negative impact of computer screens on human eyesight and helps to reduce nervous tension.
