8 Ways People at Codeex Make Our Workplace More Eco-Friendly
SUMMARY
Earth day is here! Every year on April 22, we come together to celebrate the Earth. The environmental movement started in 1970 and was created to recognize the importance of our environment and how we can protect it.
The team at Codeex has analyzed our contribution to the environment to hopefully provide you with a bit of inspiration. And we’re happy to share with you the wrap-up!

the waste
At Codeex, we identify and sort our waste and send it for recycling. For this purpose, we’ve set up rubbish bins for recycling a variety of waste garbage. This way, we make sure anyone handling our waste deals with it properly.
We Don't Use Plastic Tableware
The global disposable tableware market was valued at around 30 billion US dollars in 2020. To reduce our environmental footprint, the team at Codeex’s brought to the office the essentials of eco-friendly tableware for each member.
We Take
The Stairs
Did you know that taking the stairs improves muscle strength, bone density, and joint flexibility? Well, we don’t have elevators installed at our building, so we have learned this fitness tip from experience.
We Have
Potted Plants
Natural environments help us ease stress, experience beauty, and gain perspective. We can redirect our thoughts from our temporary stressors and see the bigger picture of life.
Bringing flowers into your workspace is an easy way to weave nature into your workday. Even a small potted plant can go a long way.
We Unplug
Idle Electronics
In the United States, the total electricity consumed by idle electronics is equal to the annual output of 12 power plants (EPA). At many software companies, devices like scanners and printers use standby power, even when off.
So we are mindful of our electricity consumption and switch electrical devices when not using them.
We Choose
LED Lights
Did you know that LED lights are up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting? LEDs convert 95% of their energy into light, and only 5% is wasted as heat. Meanwhile, other bulbs often convert 95% to heat and only 5% into light.
At Codeex, are office rooms are equipped with LED lights, providing our team members with comfort while going green.
We Have Gone
Paperless
US offices use 12.1 trillion sheets of paper a year, with the average American office worker using an average of 10,000 sheets of paper.
That’s a whole one standard pine tree each year per office worker.
At Codeex, we have achieved digital transformation. Recently, we’ve started to carry out all our paper-based business processes online.
Besides reducing our environmental footprint, we enjoy various benefits:
- Saving money and a huge amount of storage space.
- Protecting documents from getting lost or destroyed.
- Speeding up critical business processes
- Improving the security of our data
We Use
Reusable Bags
As a part of reducing our environmental pollution, we have a policy not to use plastic bags in the workplace. And we’ve come up with a creative solution! Using custom-made and stylish eco-friendly bags!
