Businesses need paper and lots of it. Despite the communications revolution, hard copies of important documents are still a necessity, but this is barely the beginning. Hands must be washed and wiped, fixtures and mirrors must be cleaned, and spills must be contained quickly. These enormous paper needs represent a financial burden for businesses and an environmental burden for the planet. Wypall products allow you to ease both burdens while also maintaining green credibility with employees and customers.

Have you ever tried to clean a small spill with restroom paper towels or wipe down a fixture with facial tissues? It's certainly possible, but you end up using far more paper that what is necessary! That type of inefficiency results in waste and excess costs for your business. It's best to have a variety of paper products on hand for the many different situations that present themselves. Two popular examples include these general-purpose Wypall towels, useful for medium-size spills in any environment, including office restrooms and assembly floors, and these Wypall singlefold towels, a top choice for farm applications from the field to the dairy.

For the largest variety of applications under one brand known for its environmental commitment, choose Wypall products!

If you’re like many parents, your pre-holiday preparations often begin when the kids head back to school. Before you can stockpile gifts and think about the travel plans and gatherings you will be organizing, getting your home in order is important. With a clean home, it’s easy to feel like you have a clean slate from which to work. As you organize and rearrange, eco friendly cleaning supplies can play an important role in your approach. You can clean confidently, knowing that your products aren’t harsh on the environment or on your family. 

Some cleaning products are very irritating. It’s important to realize that scents and chemicals can irritate eyes and skin, and pose a threat to pets, who walk on those floors we cleaned and then lick their paws! When you work with eco friendly cleaning supplies, you are able to worry less about sneezing fits, burning eyes and allergic reactions. Using products that are environmentally friendly also takes into consideration the needs of your holiday guests. You can avoid leaving traces of chemicals and products that might irritate visitors. Whether you are laundering bedding or washing dishes, take every opportunity to use gentle products. You can rest assured that your use of such supplies will make a better impact on your community’s environment, and you can worry less, clean more and get ready for the bounty of fun activities ahead!

With fall fairs and festivals approaching, your catering business has the opportunity to make its appearance through vending at the events on your town’s calendar. This is the perfect time to expand the recognition of your company in the community. Using eco-friendly restaurant supplies for serving your customers serves a dual purpose. This is your chance to promote environmental responsibility while also protecting your local landfill. It’s helpful if you post signs that testify to the fact that your company is committed to the use of environmentally friendly products when possible. This allows all customers to recognize that you are committed to an important cause.

Deciding on the best foods for your fair appearances will be a matter of setting and theme. The setting in which an event takes place may have limited seating. In this case, it’s difficult for fair-goers to eat foods that require much cutlery. Finger foods are much more suitable to the festival environment, but if you are intent on sit-down fare, you can always bring portable tables and chairs in order to create an area for your customers to eat comfortably. Whether they eat in your area or move along with their tasty treats, you can rest assured that your use of eco-friendly restaurant supplies will make a difference in your local environment!

It’s tough to think about fall tasks when summer’s heat is still fierce, but as children return to school, there will be quite a few opportunities to participate in cleanup activities. From pulling your dried-out tomato vines from the garden to raking up the seemingly unending pile of brittle leaves, you’ll be pressed to find time to fit your tasks into the busy routines of sports and school. Nevertheless, you will discover that this is the perfect time to teach your family about environmental issues as you gather those plant remains! BioBag products will help you contain the mess in an eco-friendly manner, and they will serve as a great teaching tool, too.

Each BioBag is made from corn, and they are much better for collecting lawn debris than traditional bags. Normal plastic bags don’t compost, while the eco-friendly options are not only compostable, but also provide more flexibility in receiving materials. You can find more than just lawn waste sizes, and transitioning to the use of these eco bags in your entire home will make a statement about your priorities.

Add community cleanup activities to your fall slate of plans if you can find the time – it’s perfect for demonstrating the need to care for your community in a variety of ways, and helps make this already beautiful season even more so!
