According to a new Office Depot survey, “green” has gone mainstream in the small business community. Half of all respondents are interested in making their offices “greener,” according to a survey of 2,500 business professionals. The survey also found that cost and understanding are the two primary factors preventing businesses from going greener at the office.

 

“It is encouraging to see such strong interest in going green among small businesses,” said Yalmaz Siddiqui, Director of Environmental Strategy for Office Depot. “The good news is that creating a greener office is simpler than ever. Not only are there more high-quality, low-cost greener products available than ever before, but the range of solutions to help reduce waste and energy has also grown significantly.”
