Setting up recycling bins in commonly used areas of the flex space (which people have easy access to) will serve as a daily reminder to staffers to reconsider what they’re throwing away.

Most people know that they should recycle but get confused about what waste goes where. Mark sure these bins are clearly marked and if that’s not enough, send out a refresher email, so everyone is mindful of the ins and outs of recycling.

Put up posters around the workplace listing recyclable office material and equipment, including ink cartridges (if you don’t plan to refill them), old laptop batteries and similar items that shouldn’t clog up landfills.",2,"This might seem like obvious advice, but recycling is so important, given how much waste a single business generates.","https://officehub.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Site/Blog/recycle.jpg",{"_47":122,"_87":-5,"_49":122,"_88":123,"_90":124,"_92":125,"_94":-5,"_95":-5,"_96":-5,"_97":-5,"_98":-5,"_99":-5,"_100":-5,"_101":42,"_102":-5,"_103":-5,"_104":42,"_105":-5,"_106":-5,"_107":42,"_108":-5,"_109":-5,"_110":63,"_111":-5,"_112":-5,"_113":-5},"a3c3m0000011MxeAAE","Choose To Reuse Items","During the early stages of the pandemic, people resorted to using single-serve plastics and cutlery because they were frightened of catching the virus via surface transmission. \n

Now that we have a better understanding of how COVID-19 spreads and how we can protect ourselves, reusable items are back on the table. \n

Encourage everyone to use the ceramics, coffee mugs, water glasses and utensils supplied by the office, or bring their own to work. Washing a dirty dish won't take long and is less likely to end up at the bottom of the ocean. \n

Keeping hydrated during a long workday is clearly essential, but individuals don't require bottled water to reach their daily intake. \n

Turn off lights that aren’t strictly necessary to use and replace standard incandescent bulbs with LED ones. These use approximately 75% less energy while offering the same output.

Make the most of ambient lighting by opening closed binds and letting sunlight fill the office. Painting your office walls with light hues and high gloss sheens will also brighten up dark spaces.

Power down work computers for the night or activated standby mode if PCs go unused for long periods to reduce your consumption. Better yet, completely unplug your device overnight to avoid wasting energy on phantom power.

If you’ve got the budget and are looking to improve energy efficiency in the office further, motion-activated light sensors are the way to go.
