5 Must-Have Green Items for Office Workers

In 2017, the amount of waste in the country was approximately 27.40 million tons, which means that Thais generated about 75,000 tons of waste daily. This is an increase from 2016, which had around 27.06 million tons of waste. Most of this waste is plastic, such as plastic bags, wrappers, water bottles, and disposable cups, often discarded in shopping malls, markets, or various locations. Nowadays, many people are turning to green items, eco-friendly products, to reduce waste and combat global warming. Today, I would like to present 5 eco-friendly items that are essential and stylish for young office workers. Let’s see how impressive they are!

Personal Water Bottle or Cup - This item can refresh the office atmosphere. Besides the colorful design of the cup that adds a pleasant touch to your desk, the drink inside can also keep you energized, whether it's plain water, juice, or coffee. Additionally, it helps office workers save money by eliminating the need to buy bottled water from convenience stores, and some coffee shops offer discounts for those who bring their own cups.

Eco-Friendly Notebook Made from Recycled Paper - This item may seem simple and ordinary, but nowadays, eco-friendly notebooks come in both elegant designs suitable for office men and colorful styles for office women. Every office worker should have one on their desk for jotting down notes and tasks. Not only does it keep all your information in one place, but it also ensures that your notes don’t get lost.

Eco-Friendly Stationery Organizer - Most office workers prefer a tidy workspace. This item helps organize and maintain the neatness of your desk, preventing stationery and other items from cluttering your workspace. It makes it easy to grab what you need without wasting time searching for it. Every office worker should have one.

Eco-Friendly Document Folder or Envelope - Since documents are essential in every office, almost every office worker has various papers to send, keep, or carry around. Therefore, this green item makes it easier and more organized to send, move, and store documents.

Eco-Friendly Tote Bag - During lunchtime, you might notice many people carrying stylish tote bags. Not only do they help avoid carrying bulky items, but they also contribute to reducing global warming and plastic bag usage.

CitiBank mentioned the initiative to use tote bags as part of their social project “Citi Global Community Day,” allowing Citi volunteers to express their social responsibility through giving. In 2018, this marks the 13th year, and one of the projects is the “Citi Eco-Friendly Tote Bag” campaign to encourage office workers to reduce global warming and environmental pollution. These tote bags are ideal for office workers as they are large, lightweight, easy to store, and convenient to carry around. This initiative has received a great response, with many people seen using them during the day and evening. As employees, we can help alleviate global warming and environmental pollution easily, starting with what’s close to us, contributing to environmental awareness.
