Let’s face it: keeping an office running smoothly is no small feat. Whether you’re a procurement pro, an office manager, an executive assistant, or the go-to person for sustainability initiatives, you’ve got a lot on your plate. You’re juggling budgets, keeping teams happy, and making sure everything from pens to printers is working like a well-oiled machine. And now, on top of all that, there’s the growing expectation to make your workplace more sustainable.
Here’s the good news: going green doesn’t have to mean sacrificing efficiency or breaking the bank. At Gateway, we’re all about eco-friendly office supplies that actually make your life easier, all while helping you do right by the planet. Think refillable pens that never let you down, recycled paper that looks just as sharp as the traditional stuff, and organizers that keep desks tidy without clogging up landfills.
Why Sustainable Supplies Are a Win-Win

Let’s be real—sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore. It’s a business imperative. But it’s also an opportunity. By switching to eco-friendly office supplies, you can:
- Cut Costs: Recycled paper, reusable notebooks, and energy-efficient devices save money over time. Fewer replacements = more budget flexibility.
- Boost Productivity: A clutter-free, well-organized workspace helps everyone stay focused and efficient. (And yes, biodegradable organizers count!)
- Make Your Team Proud: Employees love working for companies that care about the planet. A greener office can boost morale and even attract top talent.
- Impress Clients: More and more, clients and partners are looking to work with businesses that share their values. Sustainable supplies are a simple way to show you’re walking the talk.

How to Make the Switch (Without the Headache)
We know change can feel daunting, especially when you’ve got a million other things to worry about. But going green doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how to make it happen—without the stress:
Start Small: Swap Out the Basics
You don’t have to overhaul your entire office overnight. Start with the little things that add up over time. Swap out disposable items like pens, markers, and sticky notes for refillable or biodegradable alternatives. For example:
- Energy-Efficient Tools: From LED desk lamps to printers that sip energy instead of guzzling it, we’ve got the gear to help you cut down on power usage without slowing down.
- Biodegradable Sticky Notes: Keep your reminders and to-do lists eco-friendly with sticky notes that break down naturally.
- Reusable Notebooks: Try notebooks with refillable pages or digital alternatives for a paperless option.
These small changes are easy to implement but can make a big difference in reducing your office’s environmental footprint.
Go Digital When You Can: Cut Down on Paper
Let’s be honest—paper is one of the biggest sources of office waste. But reducing paper use doesn’t mean sacrificing convenience. Here’s how to make the shift:
- Digital Note-Taking: Apps like Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, or Google Keep can replace traditional notebooks and sticky notes.
- Cloud Storage: Move your filing systems online with platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or SharePoint. Not only does this save paper, but it also makes documents easier to access and share.
- E-Signatures: Tools like DocuSign or Adobe Sign eliminate the need for printing, signing, and scanning documents.
When you do need to print, choose recycled paper and set your printers to double-sided mode by default. Every sheet saved counts!
Get Your Team On Board: Make It a Group Effort
Sustainability works best when everyone’s on the same page. Here’s how to rally your team around the cause:
- Share the Why: Help your team understand the impact of their choices. For example, explain how switching to refillable pens can keep hundreds of plastic pens out of landfills each year.
- Make It Fun: Turn sustainability into a challenge. Track paper usage or waste reduction goals and celebrate milestones together.
- Lead by Example: When leadership embraces eco-friendly practices, it sets the tone for the entire office. Show your team that sustainability is a priority.
Remember, most people want to do their part—they just need the tools and encouragement to get started.
