UK office supplies company OyezStraker has launched its Carboncare initiative, making office supplies as environmentally friendly as possible, with an exhibition and customer seminar in Central London.

Customers from a wide range of UK organisations heard speakers from Hewlett-Packard, Robert Horne Group, File and Data, Infotec, OyezStraker Carboncare Services and OyezStraker Office Environments talk on reducing environmental impact.

Keynote speaker Andrew Borrill, regional development director of OyezStraker's Carboncare Services, told the audience, 'Planting trees is a step in the right direction, but British industry has to do much more to satisfy the widespread demand for environmentally conscious products and services. That's why we have responded with a set of concrete measures which we believe will both satisfy our customers' concerns and also puts us in the forefront of the effort to cut carbon emissions to a minimum.'

The audience also heard presentations on a wide range of specific issues from paper and packaging, to print cartridge recycling, to managing records efficiently, and office design that is environmentally friendly.
