Sustainability – it’s the buzz word of the moment with more and more people looking to reduce their impact on the environment. The NZ Tourism Guide defines environmental sustainability as the concept of dealing with climate change, and effectively managing natural resources so they are available for the use of future generations. There are a number of ways we can be more environmentally sustainable – from reducing our use of single-use plastics to implementing recycling systems at home and in the workplace, the options are endless nowadays!
We’re lucky that there are also a number of everyday products that now have sustainable alternatives, like cleaning products. See how you can make your office or workplace more sustainable with these environmentally friendly cleaning products, all of which can be found on Primepac.
