Inter-Office Envelopes
Remember to use inter-office envelopes when sending internal mail. Not only are
they reusable and help stop paper waste they help save the department's supply
of Swinburne postage paid envelopes.

Leaking taps and Doors not closing properly
Remember to report leaking taps or doors that are not closing properly.
These small steps can make a big difference to improving the workplace
and environment.
Recycled Paper into Notepads
HR has begun to use recycled paper to make notepads. Using paper that
is not double sided, ripped or scrunched we have been slicing it up
with the guilotine to make notepads. This is a good way to recycle
paper that has barely been used and that is still in good condition.
Oops Printing
35% of Printing is oops printing! HR is trying to stop wasteful
printing with defaults on their computers changed, we hope that other
departments in the University do the same.
Turning off Printers and Faxes
HR is continuing with the green initiatives by continually turning off
printers and faxes overnight and using the powersave button during the
day. We have also come across another link that can assist with making
your office green friendly. Please see the link for further information
in keeping your office green.http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ncs/swingreenoffice/
Computer Screens
HR is turning off computer screens when shutting down or away from desks. This simple task can save a lot of energy!
Recycle Bins
HR is recycling paper by creating a recycle bin that each staff member
is rostered on to empty into the campus recycle bins daily.
