Need some ideas? We have you covered!

Eco-Friendly Paper

Yes, many functions in the office, classroom, and beyond have gone paperless, however, paper use in some situations is simply not going anywhere anytime soon. Make a simple swap in your office supply order by purchasing recycled paper. So, if your teachers need paper stocked to make copies of those pesky pop quizzes, or your employees need to make copies of reports or healthcare paperwork, Benjamin Office Supply has a robust inventory of recycled paper that will bring your office to a greener space.

Simple Swaps to Make Breakrooms Green

The breakroom can be a breeding ground for single use supplies that are not earth friendly. Styrofoam coffee cups, plastic plates, utensils, and a fridge full of plastic water bottles can easily be swapped out for their eco-friendlier family members.

Items like paper straws, insulated hot cups, compostable cold cups, napkins, and utensils that are made from biodegradable materials are all perfect examples of eco-friendly breakroom supplies that can be simply swapped out in the procurement process.

Switch Up Writing Utensils for Their Sustainable Counterparts

Traditional pens and markers often end up in landfills, but Benjamin Office Supply offers eco-friendly alternatives like refillable pens and highlighters. These options are designed to last longer and reduce waste. Or simply shop for writing utensils made from recycled materials or biodegradable components, helping to lessen their environmental impact.

Be a Green Cleaning Machine

Conventional cleaning supplies often contain harmful chemicals that can contribute to indoor air pollution and negatively impact the ecosystem when thrown out. Benjamin Office Supply offers a range of green cleaning products and cleaning tools that are both effective and environmentally friendly.

Simple swaps in cleaning supplies like the items below will be a welcome change to your janitorial closet.

Recycling Bins for the Workplace

Benjamin Office Supply supports offices in setting up comprehensive recycling programs with an inventory of clearly marked bins for trash and recycling which helps the sorting process. Recycling bins can be purchased in varied sizes enabling each employee to have a small bin at their desk for paper or other recyclable materials. Larger recycling bins can be stationed in the breakroom and at entrances/exits for easy disposal of recyclable materials. Swapping out trash bags for eco-friendly can liners completes the simple swap out for more eco-friendly recycling processes in the workplace.

Energy Efficient Office Equipment

Upgrading to more energy-efficient office equipment is a strategic way to cut down on power consumption and supply usage. Benjamin offers a range of office equipment and gadgets designed to minimize energy usage without compromising performance. Look for devices with EPA CPG compliance, as these products meet rigorous energy efficiency standards set by the EPA.

Options include everything from printers and copiers to computers and monitors. By investing in these energy-efficient models, your office can significantly reduce its carbon footprint.
