Buy recycled
More and more businesses are introducing a policy to buy recycled products wherever possible. Most suppliers and printers can provide very high quality and competitively priced recycled paper, as well as recycled envelopes, fax paper, labels, files, flip charts, storage boxes and Post-it notes, so there’s no excuse! The Recycled Products Guide, available from Wasteline (0870 243 0136), gives details of a whole host of recycled goods, or alternatively visit the Buy Recycled website at www.recycledproducts.org.uk
The bottom line
The bottom line is that we all need to Rethink our Rubbish - at work as well as in the home. By adopting effective work practices to try and reduce what we throw away, we can also improve save money, as well as help protect the environment.
Research by Envirowise has been proven that Rethinking Rubbish (or the technical term ‘waste minimisation’) can save businesses up to 1% of their annual turnover. – Log onto www.envirowise.gov.uk to find out more about the FREE support and advice available to UK businesses. Rethinking Rubbish may help to boost your business!

We keep three separate bins at home for used cans, bottles and paper, then drop them off at the local supermarket recycling banks when we ago shopping. It's really that easy!
I'm a great believer that if everyone did a little, then it would go a long way to help the big problem of rubbish.
