One major way that many companies avoid waste is to go paperless. With technology like email and electronic databases, there is little need to keep paper records or send office memos. Going paperless saves on printing and its associated costs, declutters the office, and drastically reduces waste.
Another way to avoid waste is to purchase materials that are more durable and longer-lasting. This can be as simple as buying fluorescent or LED light bulbs instead of incandescent, or as major as buying a higher-end air handler or other piece of critical equipment. If your company does packaging and shipping, avoid using plastic and other nonbiodegradable packing materials. If possible, add recycling into your disposal process, which will at least ensure the waste you do produce does the least harm.
