Reduce Waste in Your Office

Fact #1: The average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper each year.

Fact #2: The United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, but consumes 30% of the world’s paper.

Based on those facts, the U.S. EPA estimates that paper and cardboard account for almost 40% of our garbage. Implementing a workplace plan to recycle and reduce unnecessary paper use can prevent a large portion of that waste. Here are some helpful tips to creating a greener office environment.

When trying to make your office a greener environment, also consider disposing of paper documents through a shredding service. At Mobile record shredders we recycle 100% of the paper we shred and are a great complimentary service to helping your business improve green practices.
