Green Office Supplies at Office Depot

Office Depot has a new Smart Steps to a Greener Office Section. Help Go Green in the office. Going green is getting more mainstream. A survey they did indicates that businesses definitely need to get with the program.

• More than half (54%) recycle paper and magazines
• Nearly a half (48%) recycle bottles and cans as well as ink cartridges (45%)
• Only 24% purchase Energy Star rated technology, e.g. computers, monitors, copiers, etc.
• One-third (33%) use energy-efficient lights
• A quarter (24%) print double-sided copies
• Only 16% purchase remanufactured ink and toner cartridges

Items they recommend buying from Office Depot of course include:

• EnviroCopy 100% Post Consumer Recycled paper
• 100% Recycled, 95% Post Consumer Hanging Folder
• Remanufactured Ink and Toner Cartridges
• Refillable products
• Energy star technology and lighting
• Green Cleaning products like their hand soup
• Greenguard certified furniture like Global Genoa

They also have lots of useful tips for being more green. A pretty good effort.
