Wooden bookcases especially look great.
General sustainability in the office
Furniture is the first step to making your office space more environmentally friendly, however, there are also some other things you can do to make the office even more sustainable. Firstly, try cutting down on the paper. Producing 100,000 sheets of paper requires over 8 trees, so try not to print as much! Another good way to improve sustainability is to turn down the heating. A solution to efficient warmth is to get a first-rate radiator, as they offer complete control. It may also be worth considering investing in energy-saving technology to automatically shut down your computers and printers when not in use. This is a great way to save electricity and therefore make your office more sustainable.”
