ECO-CONSCIOUS PRODUCTS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
When it comes to purchasing products for your college or university, going greener may not always be on the top of your mind and products may not always be so simple to find. That’s where the ODP Business Solutions® GreenerOffice™ Web Store Shop comes in. Use it to shop online for thousands of high-quality products that have eco-attributes and eco labels that can help you reduce your environmental impact.
Wish you could easily find greener alternatives for the frequently used products your institution already purchases online? ODP Business Solutions® also offers a Green Cart option that puts eco- conscious choices, identified as GreenerOffice™ Alternatives, front and center. You’ll find supplies, furniture, lighting, cleaning supplies, and more. In addition, you can download and refer to The Green Book® which features products that are color-coded using our GreenerOffice™ rating system.
A GREENER WAY TO DELIVER
Want to help keep sustainability in motion after your purchase is complete? Their GreenerOffice™ Delivery Service is a free program for eligible delivery orders. They’ll transport your purchased items to your institution’s location in a reusable plastic tote (which helps protect the items during shipping) and then leave these items at your site in a sealed paper bag.* GreenerOffice™ Delivery paper bags contain a minimum of 40% post consumer recycled content and can generally be reused or recycled more easily than boxes.
SUSTAINABILITY IN EVERY DROP
Is reducing plastic waste a priority for your institution? One way to help address this is to consider switching from single-use water bottles to a water filtration system or to the 5-Gallon Water Delivery Program from ODP Business Solutions®. Their water filtration systems come in floor or counter models, tap directly into your water line (so there are no bottles to fit), and serve as an eco-conscious option that can help eliminate waste. You can also tap into their 5 Gallon Water Delivery Program to enjoy having purified or spring water delivered to your office on a set schedule.
PULL UP A SEAT TO SUSTAINABILITY
If you’re looking for greener ways to furnish your campus, ODP Business Solutions® Workspace Interiors can help. They offer new furniture options that meet BIFMA Level®, GREENGUARD, FSC, and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifications. In addition, choosing a remanufactured furniture solution can help prevent unnecessary waste, reduce carbon emissions, and save energy.
GO CLEANER AND GREENER
It’s a myth that harsher chemicals are necessary for maintaining a cleaner environment. That’s where Highmark® ECO comes in. Whether you choose concentrated or ready-to-use cleaning solutions, all Highmark ECO products are biodegradable and contain no ammonia, phosphate, PFAS, or NPE. By cleaning your college or university’s facilities more responsibly, you can help keep your sustainability goals in motion.
* Bags are recyclable where facilities exist.
