Avoid Air Fresheners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many of these products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other environmentally unfriendly chemicals. Plug-in air fresheners are even worse as they use electricity as well. Either use natural air fresheners or just open that window!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Vending Machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have a vending machine at work, think about putting in a timing device for it. This can turn off the machine at night, saving energy and money. On average, if a vending machine was switched off at nights and weekends, it will save a tonne of CO2 a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Heat Reflector on Radiators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If it has not already been done, put a reflective panel behind the radiator. Up to 70 % of the heat from the back of the radiator can be used to heat the wall behind it. By using a reflective panel, this will bounce this wasted heat back into the room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Go for a flat screen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your office still has some old PCs with the old CRT monitors, think about replacing them. The newer flat-panel monitors use up to less 50% electricity to run, saving your business money and energy. Please remember to recycle all your old monitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Insulate your pipes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This can be a quick and easy option to reduce energy use in the workplace. Buy some pipe insulation foam strips and place them on the pipes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greenbuying.co.uk\/contact\/\">Contact us to find out more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In keeping with our recent eco office blogs, here are some further green tips for the workplace. 1.
