Top Tips: How To Create A Sustainable Workplace

identification cards

With global warming and climate change becoming an ever-growing issue in today’s society, workplaces and organisations can help reduce their carbon footprint and benefit the planet. In addition, simple changes to office normalities can create a positive impact on the environment. Here at Windmill Computing, we strive to make a difference and implement technology that prevents the use of paper systems and plastics. 

Identification Card Printing Systems

As we advance into a technological age, old systems such as paper, used for employees and visitors signing in, prove ineffective. Not only do paper systems require large quantities of paper being used and wasted, but they are also time-consuming. Having to queue at the reception desk to be signed in can make you late for work if several others are also waiting. Implementing an ID card printing system not only benefits the planet but also increases productivity and security. Equipping each employee with an ID card allows them to effortlessly scan their card on a reader that records login times and exit times, preventing anyone from wandering in. Windmill Computing has been an authorised supplier of Javelin products and systems for over 25 years. We also set up our card printers to be ready for use as soon as you unbox them! 

Biodegradable Bamboo Lanyards 

For larger offices and organisations, lanyards can add up. Instead of throwing away old or unneeded lanyards, use biodegradable ones. Our range of eco-friendly, biodegradable bamboo lanyards break down far quicker if they end up in a landfill site. The bamboo fibre being 100% biodegradable will degrade naturally without releasing any toxic residue into the atmosphere. Our lanyards  can also be customised and pre-printed to your office branding and personal customisation. These  lanyards comply with the Business Social Compliance Initiative that focuses on companies reducing their carbon footprint. Not to mention they are dispatched on next day delivery, so your company can start improving fast!

NBS Laminator 

Even though switching to identification card systems over paper improves your carbon footprint and reduces the need for paper, ID cards are still plastic and damaging if wasted or discarded. It’s a given that some of the ID cards will get lost or damaged. Instead of constantly replacing the cards, laminate them to allow added protection, preventing card cloning and counterfeiting. Not only does laminating your ID cards improve security, but it also benefits Earth. Reducing the number of printed cards will save you the time of printing new ones or throwing away damaged or faulty cards. 

Ink Ribbon Shredder

Protecting critical information is a must in any business. Our used ink ribbon shredder destroys old ink ribbons, turning them into tiny pieces, collected into a waste bag for personal disposal, preventing plastic from being thrown away. Card shredders protect personal information and prevent the unauthorised from entering.
