Tackling waste in co-working spaces:
they’re doing it!
How can co-working spaces reduce their environmental impact by tackling the waste issue?
Let’s dive together into an inspiring world of very concrete examples that have already been tested and implemented by co-working spaces across the globe!
La Cordée (France)
- Events/Meetings: we recommend “zero waste” partners (meal trays with glass deposit jars).
Kitchen: cloths rather than paper towels, basic cooking elements for sauces and seasonings to share (oils, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar…), tablewares in quantity to cover all needs and avoid plastic single-use ones (cutlery, glasses, cups, chopsticks), bulk tea, coffee in large compostable paper bags, vermicomposting (in 2 coworking spaces), collecting/supplying bags and glass cases/tupperwares for coworkers to go picking up their lunch box.
Bathroom: fabric unwinders in toilets, rechargeable soap dispensers. - Office: providing white boards rather than paper boards, electronic signature of contracts, reusing printed paper as draft paper, donation boxes.
- Everywhere: selective sorting, promoting “zero waste” shops adresses located around each coworking space.
