Office swaps reduce disposable stationery and plastic accessories. The best wins tend to be refillable, durable tools and fewer single-use purchases.

If you're in a shared space, focus on simple swaps that don't create friction for others.

What to look for
  • Prefer refillable pens and mechanical pencils with available refills.
  • Use durable folders/binders that can be reused across years.
  • If printing is necessary, focus on minimizing prints and using recycled paper.
Watch out for
  • Buying “eco” office items as extra clutter rather than replacing a real need.
  • Plastics that become brittle and crack quickly.
