Office consumables and equipment

Most of the consumables and equipment used in an office require significant energy and materials during their life cycle: production, delivery, use and disposal. The most significant impact sources – size of demand, use of consumables and energy, and disposal – can be directly influenced by staff. Increasingly, there are practical alternatives available to reduce these impacts without any loss to office cost–effectiveness.

Tools and resources specific to particular product groups are available through the following links.
