Does anyone know of or has undertaken a process to reduce office waste?
I work in an Inhouse Graphic department and produce a great variety of material, all of which needs to be printed off, amended, changes corrected and printed off again - there is a great deal of waste.
We recycle as much as we can but actually reducing the waste would be alot better... any ideas will be gratefully recieved.:D

We recycle paper too. When I first started at my work, I took paper out of the recycling to reuse the backs for writing notes. I'd cut the A4 pieces down to A6 and put a big clip on the stack to make a notepad. But then they went and gave me all these company pads for writing notes so I use those instead....

Yup, that's how I made my office sketch pad - Recycled printouts choped to A4 and bound.

My scrap paper is usually rescued from the recycle bin, or it's that unneeded second page of an email I just printed that only has the second half of a client's signature or other useless info. We have notepads, but I generally just use them for notes to stick in with packages I send to clients. Looks a little neater.
