5 Ways to Have a More Eco-Friendly Office Move
With all the packing materials, boxes, and unwanted items, moving can be more damaging to the environment than you might expect. However, it does not have to be that way. With the following tips, your office relocation can be more eco-friendly:
Fewer Trucks
Depending on the number of items you have to move and the space they take up, you may need several trucks for your move, which can produce a lot of greenhouse gasses. You can minimize the number of trucks needed to transport your office by going through all your items and either getting rid of what you don’t need or putting unnecessary items in storage.
Use Greener Packing Materials
When packing your office, it’s easy to use a lot of plastic and disposable products that are not the best for the planet. As an eco-friendly alternative, you can try to use compostable, recyclable, or reusable crates and other packing materials.
If you do use plastic items, ensure you can repurpose them after the move to your new office space. Perhaps they can act as storage in a closet or on shelves. Even with eco-friendly materials, our movers will pack your items properly, so they do not get damaged in transit.
Recycle Supplies
Office relocations tend to produce a lot of waste with unused supplies, like boxes, pens, clips, folders, and other packing materials. Instead of throwing them away, you can recycle them. This prevents any supplies sitting in your old office space from going to waste or ending up in landfills.
Donate What You Don’t Need
When we work with you to plan your move, we go through everything you have to see what you want to take to your new space, put in storage, or leave behind. Instead of disposing of these unwanted items, you can donate them so they can be reused. This way, the moving trucks do not have to use as much fuel to carry these items, and someone else can use them later on.
E-Waste Management
Technology cannot be thrown out like any other waste. It has to be disposed of properly. If you have any technology you do not want to bring to your new office, you can recycle it using e-waste management. We offer these services so your technology can be repurposed and reused and you do not have to throw away any toxic materials.
