You can purchase materials or products that have been recycled, or use materials and products that can be used more than once. Here are some tips:
• Purchase and use recycled paper.
• Bring in and use your coffee mugs, dishes and utensils from home instead of using polystyrene, commonly referred to as Styrofoam™ (Styrofoam™ is trademarked by the DOW Chemical Co. to identify one type of polystyrene), or other paper products.

| Remember that you can donate, exchange, or sell office furniture and electronic equipment when it is no longer needed. The State of California offers the CalMax program which allows you to either post or purchase items that have been listed by other businesses. |
