Buy recycled
More and more businesses are introducing a policy to buy recycled products wherever possible. Most suppliers and printers can provide very high quality and competitively priced recycled paper, as well as recycled envelopes, fax paper, labels, files, flip charts, storage boxes and Post-it notes, so there’s no excuse! The Recycled Products Guide, available from Wasteline (0870 243 0136), gives details of a whole host of recycled goods, or alternatively visit the Buy Recycled website at www.recycledproducts.org.uk
