Your company has decided to implement an eco-friendly business plan. Now what? Here’s a great first step: Find the green products you’ll need to make your firm live up to its new policy.
After having trouble finding eco-products and understanding why they are green, Allison Huke and Douglas Farquhar launched Irvine-based BuyGreen.com – a Web-based store that sells green products for the office, as well as the home – in 2007. From solar-powered lights and recycled furnishings to organic clothing and non-toxic cleaning supplies, the site offers more than 4,000 products.
“Many companies are now realizing that going green is not just a good PR decision – it’s a sound business decision,” says Huke, BuyGreen.com president. “Many green choices help companies save money. It’s good for their image, good for morale, good for their balance sheet and good for the environment.”
The most popular office products available at BuyGreen.com include recycled copy paper, recycled toner cartridges and biodegradable supplies such as bags, plates and cups, Huke says. Customers who enter the site and click on one of the items will find an in-depth description on why it’s green, what it’s made of and who created the product. As a result, customers receive a better understanding of what it means to be green – something Farquhar and Huke can easily relate to.
“Over the next few years, I believe that more companies will join the green movement, and it will become part of their planning and strategy,” Huke says. “Companies will need help doing this, and I think a growing niche is for consultants to help companies green their business.”
The next time you’re wondering where to go for sustainable office supplies, BuyGreen.com makes it as easy as clicking a mouse.
