Supporting Sustainable Change Through Our Green Initiatives

At Recorra Workplace Supplies, sustainability is not an add on or a marketing claim. It is built into how we operate, how we supply products and how we work with our clients to reduce environmental impact over time.

When onboarding new clients, we focus on practical green initiatives that can be implemented immediately while also supporting longer term sustainability goals. Our approach combines responsible product choice, carbon reduction, circular economy principles and meaningful social impact.


Greener Product Choices by Default

We prioritise sustainable and circular products across our range, including items made from recycled, remanufactured or renewable materials. Wherever possible, greener alternatives are clearly identified within catalogues to make responsible purchasing simple and transparent.

Clients are supported to gradually increase the proportion of sustainable products they buy, with recommendations based on real usage data rather than assumptions. This ensures changes are achievable and aligned with operational needs.


Reducing Carbon and Environmental Impact

Environmental impact is reduced through a combination of smarter logistics and product choice. This includes consolidated deliveries to reduce transport emissions and the use of zero emission cargo bike deliveries where available.

Packaging waste is minimised through bulk supply options and the use of recyclable or recycled packaging materials. We also actively support waste reduction and circular initiatives such as reuse options, take back schemes and recycling solutions.


Transparent Sustainability Reporting

Clients receive clear and meaningful sustainability reporting to support their ESG objectives. This can include insights such as green product adoption trends, recycled content usage and progress over time.

Our reporting focuses on clarity and credibility, helping clients demonstrate measurable improvement without overclaiming.


Social Value and Community Engagement

Sustainability goes beyond environmental impact. Through our Sustainability Engagement Team, we offer volunteering opportunities that clients can take part in as part of their wider ESG commitments.

This includes organised beach cleans and collaborative work with charity partners such as Plan Zheroes, helping to tackle food waste and support local communities. These initiatives allow clients and their teams to engage directly with sustainability in a hands on and meaningful way.


A Partnership Approach

We believe the most effective sustainability outcomes come from collaboration. Our approach is based on continuous improvement, working closely with clients to identify new opportunities to reduce impact, increase circularity and deliver positive social value over time.

By combining greener products, lower carbon delivery, transparent reporting and community engagement, we help clients move from intention to action in a way that is practical, credible and measurable.

Conference Giveaways That Actually Get Used (Not Left Behind)

Conference giveaways usually fall into two categories: products people genuinely keep using, and products that get left on tables, forgotten in hotel rooms, or thrown away shortly after the event. At busy conferences and exhibitions, hundreds of promotional items can be handed out in a matter of hours. Without careful consideration, many of those products quickly become avoidable waste.
