Sometimes even sooner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article covers the practices that deliver real returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s coming:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Green Office Maintenance Matters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting Up Recycling Containers That Actually Work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LED Lighting And Energy Savings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutting Paper Waste And Other Easy Wins<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing It All Together<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Green Office Maintenance Matters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green offices aren&#8217;t just better for the environment \u2014 they&#8217;re better for your business&#8217; budget too. By 2030 global industries could cumulatively save $437 billion per year with energy efficiency improvements alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s a huge opportunity for businesses of every size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, saving money is just the tip of the iceberg. Going green can also benefit companies by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher employee morale<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower staff turnover<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better brand perception<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced utility bills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the best news? You don&#8217;t need deep pockets to begin seeing savings. Many office &#8220;greens&#8221; are low-cost, simple to install and start saving you money quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set Up Proper Recycling Containers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dumpster charges are one of the most insidious expenses your office faces. Believe it or not, 75% of American waste is recyclable. Sadly, only about 30% of that actually is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s a mountain of missed opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest solution is to provide employees with dedicated recycling bins around the office. If employees have clearly marked recycling bins nearby, they will recycle more. If not? They throw everything away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality also plays a role. Flimsy bins tip over, become contaminated quickly and end up in the landfill themselves. Choose sturdy, smartly designed recycling containers from a reputable provider like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recycleaway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RecycleAway<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will stand the test of time in a hectic office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to look for in good recycling containers:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clear labelling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with images (not just text)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Separate compartments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for paper, plastic, glass and aluminium<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Durable materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that won&#8217;t crack or bend<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Appropriate sizes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your office traffic<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Position recycling bins in convenient locations &#8211; next to printers, break rooms and near exits. If it&#8217;s easier to recycle than not, people will do the right thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch To LED Lighting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still using old-school incandescent or fluorescent bulbs? This is a no-brainer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LED lights consume <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenbusinessbenchmark.com\/archive\/20-sustainable-business-practices-workplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">75% less energy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and have a lifespan 25 times longer than conventional bulbs. This means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower electricity bills every month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less time spent replacing bulbs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer maintenance calls<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial investment can be a little pricey with LEDs&#8230; But most businesses see that investment back in less than a year. After that you just continue to save year after year. It&#8217;s one of those no brainer decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra tip: Combine LED lights with motion detectors in rooms that don&#8217;t get a lot of traffic, such as storage closets and bathrooms. Lights that automatically shut off when no one is present conserve even more energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut Down On Paper Waste<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that the typical office employee generates approximately 2 pounds of paper waste each day?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s nearly 500 pounds of paper per employee each year. Most of this waste will end up in a landfill. But paper isn&#8217;t just an environmental issue; it&#8217;s a financial issue as well. Paper costs, printer ink, maintenance and disposal fees &#8230; Offices spend thousands of dollars per year on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s how to cut it down:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to digital documents where possible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set printers to double-sided by default<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage staff to think before they print<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use email signatures with a &#8220;please consider the environment&#8221; reminder<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little things do matter. An office with 20 employees that reduces paper use in half can save thousands each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimise Heating, Cooling And Ventilation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HVAC is usually the biggest energy hog in any office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can slash your energy use without inconveniencing anyone just by making a couple small changes. Here&#8217;s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Install a smart thermostat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to adjust temperatures automatically<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Seal air leaks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> around windows and doors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clean or replace filters regularly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for peak efficiency<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set reasonable temperature limits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (around 78\u00b0F in summer, 68\u00b0F in winter)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper HVAC settings can reduce energy bills by 10-20% just by themselves for the average office. That&#8217;s significant revenue right back into your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring In Plants And Natural Light<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is often overlooked&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offices that are greener (cleaner air, natural light, thermal comfort) have experienced 8-11% productivity gains and less absenteeism. That&#8217;s a massive return on a very small investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding some plants around the office isn&#8217;t just about looks. Plants:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filter indoor air pollutants<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce stress<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve focus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absorb noise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about maximising <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/the-importance-of-natural-light-in-a-workplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">natural light<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Less artificial light is needed during the daytime AND it makes the office a nicer place to be. People see that too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose Sustainable Cleaning Products<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial cleaning products can be harsh on the environment AND your employees with their harsh chemicals. Try green cleaning products that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safer for staff<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better for indoor air quality<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often more cost-effective long term<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request that your cleaning service begin using certified green products. If you have staff that clean on-site, seek out products that are Green Seal or EcoLogo certified. Easy fix.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start A Composting Program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 70% of business landfill <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/efficient-waste-management-for-modern-offices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waste can be recycled<\/a> or composted. Food scraps from the office kitchen are included in that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that starting an office composting program is simple? All you need is::<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dedicated compost bin (with a lid)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear signage about what goes in<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pickup service or on-site composting setup<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff members typically love it &#8211; and keeping food waste out of landfill will save your business money on rubbish disposal costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing It All Together<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going green with office cleaning doesn&#8217;t happen overnight. Implement the measures that offer the largest reward for the least effort first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s the action plan:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up quality recycling containers throughout the office<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to LED lighting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut down on paper waste<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimise HVAC settings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add plants and natural light where possible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to green cleaning products<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start composting food waste<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of these practices ultimately pays for themselves \u2013 and when combined they create an office that costs less to operate, is healthier for employees and better for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s a win no matter how you look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/office_space_search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9469 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853.png\" alt=\"Find office space\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853.png 600w, https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/A-better-way-to-find-office-Space-600-x-200-px-e1706915504853-160x53.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going green at the office used to feel like a &#8220;nice to have.&#8221; No longer.
