During an office relocation, packing and moving experience may be quite stressful. While there is a necessity to cope up with this stress by taking some important measures and steps, it is also important to take care of the environment.
Here are some recycling techniques and tips that will help make your office relocation more environmentally friendly.
- Use Newspapers for Packing
Newspapers can be used as packing material. You can use them to wrap some delicate and fragile items that are at a danger of being damaged or scratched. Newspapers can also be shredded and stuffed in the moving boxes to fill up empty spaces so that damage can be minimized within the boxes while they are in transit.
The reason newspapers make it to this list is because they are not only cheap and easily available but also don’t harm the environment too much as they are biodegradable.
2. Use Recyclable Styrofoam
If you are going to use Styrofoam to fill up the empty boxes then you should know that Styrofoam is sometimes non-recyclable. If the Styrofoam that you are using is recyclable then you can easily recycle it by sending it to a recycling company through mail.
3. Use Plastic Recyclable Packing Peanuts
Plastic packing peanuts can also be helpful for packing and can be used to fill up moving boxes that contain fragile items that are in danger of getting damaged while in transit. Some plastic packing peanuts are recyclable and you can recycle them easily by sending them through mail to a recycling company or other companies who can use and recycle them.
