Office Depot Releases Eco-Friendly Product Catalog

by 12/02/08 1 Comment

Office Depot’s fifth annual Green Book is now available, which highlights over 2,000 environmentally preferable products and tips for businesses of all sizes to go green.

The catalog covers everything from recycled paper to remanufactured ink cartridges, as well as products from the Office Depot Green™ brand, launched in April. The company’s environmentally-preferable products focus on use of recycled content and energy efficiency.

According to Office Depot, sales of environmentally preferable products represented in The Green Book increased by more than 10 percent in the contract channel in 2007, which the company attributes in part to a growing interest in green behaviors by small businesses.

The results of a survey by Office Depot found:

  • 69 percent of small business professionals participate in one or more of the following activities: recycle paper, bottles, ink cartridges and/or technology; purchase Energy Star rated technology, recycled paper, remanufactured ink and toner cartridges, refillable products and Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs; and print on both sides of the paper.
  • 85 percent of respondents claim they are doing so for one of two reasons: to protect the environment, or to save money.

Office Depot said that sales in The Green Book climbed from $660 million in 2006 to $725 million in 2007.
