Centex Planeteers Hetzel Horizontal
Yesterday’s episode of Centex Planeteers is available on-demand and provided tremendous tips on how to make July plastic free!

This week Jennifer addresses reducing plastic in the workplace:

  • Bin Audit – A bin audit is a great way to take stock of what waste you could be avoiding, and improve your composting and recycling habits.
  • Workplace Kitchens – Your workplace’s kitchen can be a great place to start when it comes to reducing plastic. There are some quick and easy (but impactful) changes you can make.
  • Engaging Co-Workers – Broaden your impact and encourage the people you work with to choose to refuse single-use plastic with you. You can work together to make a difference!
  • Workplace Procurement – You may be surprised by the amount of single-use plastic your company regularly obtains, and even more surprised by how easy it can be to fix it.
