• According to research by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling 1 ton of paper saves around 1,400 liters of oil, 26,500 liters of water and 17 trees. Clear guidance on recyclable materials and strategies to minimize single-use items will help make sustainable habits second nature in the office.
• Make It Visible
  • Visibility drives compliance. Make sure your recycling signs and labels can be easily seen and read from a distance.
  • Use bold fonts and high contrast colors (dark text on light background or vice versa).
  • Place signs at eye level, on, near or directly above bins and at all waste collection points. If the recycling signs are too low or obstructed, they will be ignored.
