A growing number of businesses are choosing to go green. Taking steps to make their workplaces environmentally friendly by introducing materials and operational methods that are less harmful to the environment than traditional methods and materials.

  Some of the reasons for the switch:

Costs

Going green for businesses used to be costly in the initial stages. Installing new equipment that produces less waste or buying new appliances that cut down on energy use can be expensive. However, with new tax incentives, accelerated depreciation and savings over time on the monthly energy bill all add up to significant savings.

Reducing & Recycling Materials

Strategies — like utilizing email instead of using paper to fax, purchasing reusable ink cartridges and recycling plastic and glass in the workplace — significantly lower waste. Printing on both sides of a sheet of paper before throwing it away reduces paper use by up to 50 percent. For businesses spanning a large office space, consolidating networks and setting up wireless networks save on power and cabling requirements.

Priorities

Some priorities of manufacturers in going green are sustainable packaging, water and environment stewardship, and climate and energy protection. Some large companies have been continuously involved in sustainability-focused agendas, while others have answered computer waste disposal issues by setting up large recycling plants.

Customer Relations

Going green can draw more customers to your business. Businesses that promote environmentalism as part of their mission statement can gain loyal customers and protect the environment.
