How to Sustainably Clean Your Property

In recent years, increasing awareness of human wastefulness has encouraged people toward practicing sustainable living. Are you interested in doing your part in the new year? It can be challenging to know where to begin, especially when it comes to the office. Case Baldwin Janitorial Professionals is here to help. We have some useful pointers for you when it comes to practicing sustainability at work in 2020 and beyond. 

Reduce Paper Waste

Paper waste is the most common type of waste for most offices. Many American offices have opted to go almost entirely paperless; if this is not feasible for your workplace, try to become more efficient in your use of paper. Stop printing drafts and store your files digitally, if possible; in addition to reducing the amount of paper waste you use, it will allow your storage to become more efficient. You can also consider using lighter weight papers and altering the spacing you use on documents in order to maximize the amount of information you can include on one sheet of paper. This doesn’t just conserve paper: it will conserve printer cartridges as well! 

Finally, be sure to recycle scrap paper. Shredded office paper may also be repurposed as packaging filler in certain instances. 

Reduce Other Waste

In addition to paper waste, your office likely produces plenty of other waste that you can address. There are all kinds of things you can do to reduce your office’s solid trash output. For example, try purchasing products that come in less packaging or no packaging at all. Alternatively, see if your office deliveries can be shipped in returnable containers or ask the vendor if they can take packaging back for recycling! Always try and invest in durable, repairable equipment, or rent equipment that you don’t have to use as often rather than storing it. Make the most of your ink and toner cartridges by monitoring your office’s paper use. 

You can also encourage your employees to join in the efforts. Encourage your employees to bring reusable plates, silverware, and cups at their desks rather than plasticware. Encourage them to bring lunch to work in reusable containers and lunch boxes. Consider starting a compost bin, if possible, to divert food waste from landfill. See if there are available compost removal services in your area. 

Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Supplies

While there have been regulations and a push towards moving away from harmful, chemical cleaners, there are some on the market today that still are not as eco-friendly as they should be. From airborne sprays to surface cleaners, it is important to understand the quality of cleaning supplies you are using, not only for their effectiveness but also for the safety of your employees and guests.
