27 Apr Eco-Friendly Solutions for your Saskatoon Break Room
Now more than ever, it’s important to make eco-friendly decisions about the products we use and the foods and beverages we consume. And that includes your Saskatoon office break room! Not only is sustainability better for the health and wellness of employees, but it’s also better for the planet! If you’re looking for greener solutions for your break room services, we’re here to help. We will work with you to create customized, sustainable services that suit your needs.
So, are you ready to enhance your Saskatoon workplace with eco-friendly break room upgrades? Read on for some tips and tricks!
Eco-friendly Tip #1 – Ethically & Locally Sourced Products
Canteen Canada loves partnering with locally owned businesses to bring the best snacks and drinks to your break room. For example, we work with indigenous coffee suppliers like Mogiana Coffee, Kaapittiaq, and Café William to give your team the best office coffee service available. After all, not all coffee is created equal! Not only is sourcing your break room products locally great for those businesses, but it’s also a simple way to enrich your community. In addition, local product sourcing means less transportation and, therefore, a smaller carbon footprint. It’s a win-win!
Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The easiest way to reduce waste in your Saskatoon office is by putting recycling bins in your break room. This will give employees a place to put their recyclable waste and encourage them to create eco-friendly practices at work. Locate it next to the trash can so employees can easily separate their food waste from the recyclable materials. It’s that easy!
Eco-friendly Tip #2 – Add a Water Cooler to the Break Room
Water filtration is a key element of high-quality break rooms. After all, providing clean water will encourage employees to stay hydrated at work. And that means more energized and healthy team members! What’s more, a great water cooler helps to reduce the use of single-use plastic. Create a company-wide initiative to bring reusable water bottles to work instead of single-use plastic ones by gifting your team with a branded bottle. Bonus: this will also help boost brand loyalty and company morale!
