We’ve spent plenty of time discussing plastic waste over the past couple of years. That’s because education is key in defeating office junk and plastic waste.
However, this education must be constant. Therefore, we’re still writing about it!
Most businesses will be using plastic and creating plastic waste on a regular basis. But it’s what they do with it that counts.
It’s important that businesses do dispose of their waste responsibly, especially when that waste constitutes plastic.
Here’s more about the what and the why.
The Story
Throughout Australia, commercial and industrial businesses produce almost 30 million tonnes of waste every year.
Much of this waste is plastic and unfortunately, some of it cannot be recycled with cardboard and paper waste.
Soft plastics are the main culprit here and include pieces like wrappings, shrink wrap, food bags and packs and anything else that can be easily scrunched up.
But there’s plenty of other types of waste that come out of office-based businesses and industrial businesses.
That includes old furniture, paper and cardboard recyclables, e-waste and all sorts of other types of office junk.
When it comes to this kind of waste, lots of businesses in Sydney simply throw it away and replace items with new pieces.
The waste then ends up in landfill, where it can have a devastating impact on the environment.
What You Can Do
Sustainability is key when it comes to office junk and plastic waste.
Your business should be mindful of where its waste is going, as well as where new furniture and other items are coming from.
There are a bevy of options out there for secondhand furniture, which can save both money and the environment.
At the end of the day, the best thing your business can do to ensure its office junk is handled properly is to hire the professionals.
