A sustainable office… using recycled paper

In fact the workplace is where the attention to the waste is much lower if compared with the attention that we have at home and in other places.
Paper, printing, cartridges, toner is all used in great quantities in every office, skipping particular attention to energy saving and avoid unnecessary waste. Yet it takes very few gestures few small daily cares to make the office a nice place to spend the day and where respect and protect the environment in all its forms.

Very important is the use of recycled paper that has now reached such a point of technology applied to have very few differences from the paper normally used for printing and document production. In addition, many corporate email for some time have included at the bottom of the so-called "ecological message" to give notice to print only if the mail is really indispensable to the work and we need a paper copy. In addition, the introduction of certified electronic mail, even in public institutions made it possible to considerably reduce the amount of paper needed to individual activities such as office paper for copying.

Many other techniques are then used for energy saving such as restriction of printers, many companies are now to be a floor rather than a per-seat, dining areas a holding company instead of several and many other small details which will collect the their success in the consumer sector.

It can happen in some cases products from the recycling has a higher cost, but this occurrence is quite rare now because some companies have revised the technologies to obtain high-quality products with a price almost equal to that of the product from by new cells. Also use products from recycling or processing from a label is also good for the welfare of workers in the office spend more than forty hours a week and limiting contact with harmful substances and promoting the mental well being.

If in the case of the office with the direct collaboration of workers and steady you can get excellent results on all fronts is more difficult to reconcile with the industrial activity and the sustainability of the ecology. In fact in the paper is mainly used for packaging, which makes it more difficult to use the limit in the sense that while an email can be printed or not to send or carry an appliance apart from its absolutely cannot on it. Now, however, technological change has allowed the paper to get the production resistant and reusable wrapping paper that have nothing to envy to the new boxes every time.

But there are some features that the paper in general must answer. First, a paper label shall be defined to meet certain particular requirements or to be made with a low intake of water is a limited power consumption, low emissions and water than in air but also to give birth to the paper label is required to be used only as waste paper.
Currently, this in fact turns out to be the most environmentally friendly and more environmentally friendly to produce paper, but it is certain that research in this area is evolving and growing to develop solutions which could help to reduce emissions to a minimum emission but also to limit the use of paper where it is not strictly necessary.
