Employees can help with shipping box and envelope “Reuse” (the second “R” in the common message – “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”) when they receive items from the Print Shop.
Look for the simple label as the reminder!
Cardboard box and envelope reuse cuts down on materials Algonquin College sends to off-site material recovery plants (the industry name is “MRFs”) with our waste hauler, Waste Management.
In addition, the return and reuse of these materials on-site for the next print order means the College saves money!
The Sustainability Lens video is part of Introduction to Sustainability, Part II.
This video was created in collaboration with Sustainability Illustrated. Additional videos that focus on related topics of sustainability can be found on the Sustainability Illustrated website.
The short video provides a starting point for what it means to apply a “sustainability lens” to envision a situation by thinking of positive outcomes for the environment, society while balancing out the economics.
