Sustainable Office Supplies for Every Workplace

Now that the kids are back to school, it’s time to think about improving work life too. Many of us have seen the benefits of working from home and may still be doing so, but even if you are back in the office, there’s a lot of great ways you can make your workplace more eco-friendly.

Read on for some of our favourite green office supplies and stock up for your own office, wherever that might be.

Make your workplace a more sustainable environment with Who Gives a Crap toilet paper. Made from 100% post consumer recycled paper, with 50% of profits donated to water aid projects in disadvantaged countries.

A soap-free hand wash that conditions your skin while you use it. Made from natural and renewable plant-based ingredients that are grey water-safe. Made in Australia, concentrated and not tested on animals.

Stylish and natural 100% post consumer recycled 300gsm presentation folders will be a head turner for your next pitch/presentation.
