How do you keep waste to a minimum in an office?

Answer 1

AnswerSome suggestions: Keep the faxes, printers, and copiers in good working order so that they produce good copies and don't "eat" copies. Order good quality paper that is the recommended weight for the office machines. Eliminate the confirmation page of the fax by changing the setting. Periodically ask everyone to purge their desks of excess pens, stickies and other supplies. Order a reasonable amount of supplies for a short period so there is not a feeling of over supply and that usage doesn't matter. Set expectations that people not take supplies home with them, or use the copier for excessive numbers of copies. Organize supplies and remove those that are out of date in a closet. Request that people ask for supplies from a specific person by a deadline and order from the request list. Turn off the lights if you are the last one leaving.

Answer 2

Keeping waste to a minimum depends on the field of pollution you are talking about.

Example: You can decrease pollution by using public transportation than using your own car.

Also you can recycle garbage rather than disposing it. You can also re-use objects like glass bottles for other home uses like a plant pot. You can also decrease waste by using ur own cloth bag in the supermarket than taking plastic bags.
