OfficeMax in the US has announced that they will carry a range of “green” office products from Terra Cycle. Made from recycled materials, these products are as good for the OfficeMax image as they are for the environment. The story of getting good media attention in the US.

In Hong Kong last week I noticed several stationery products suppliers offering green ranges. These products are available to us.

This is a space in which newsagents should be playing - not only carrying green stationery and home office products but talking about it in the media as OfficeMax in the US has done this mast week. We should lead on this in Australia.

Plastic bags are not the only environment related issue for retailers, it’s about the products we sell. We can demonstrate leadership fropm our shop floor through the choices we provide consumers.
