Reuse Office and School Supplies.  Get creative!

One of the biggest ways to reduce waste and reuse office supplies is beginning with paper. Paper which has been used on one side can be turned into scratch paper or can be used for another project on the second side. Paper that has been used on both sides, junk mail that is non-important can be shredded and turned into packing materials. If your office does not have the need for packing material co-op with another company and given them your unwanted waste so they can reuse the paper.

Small office equipment such as calculators operate on batteries. Switch office batteries to rechargeable and save money and landfills.

Many companies offer coffee stations to their employees and with the coffee stations come disposable coffee cups. Either provide reusable coffee mugs or encourage employees to bring in their own personal mugs to the office.

Toner cartridges are widely used in any office and switching from disposable cartridges to reusable ones is cost and environmentally effective. Businesses like Cartridge World and Monoprice.com are just a couple of places where you can have your existing toner cartridge refilled or buy reusable cartridges.
