OfficeMax: helping our customers make their workplaces, work better.

11 Nov 24

OfficeMax are Restaurant Association strategic partners, offering RA members exclusive member stationery, technology, furniture, cleaning and hygiene product benefits (and more). Find out more here.

Officemax is constantly looking for ways to look after its customers and the environment. The company has been doing more sustainability work within its North Island and South Island distribution centres to improve connectivity with its distributors and better track its carbon footprint.

Last year they had reported they had installed 798 solar panels in its distribution centres, generating about 29% of the power used at those sites, retired all gas and petrol forklifts and are in the process of replacing its fleet of vehicles with EVs and hybrids.

Below are some of the latest updates from Officemax about what they are doing.

Sustainability

OfficeMax has recently switched from polypropylene plastic straps to a new, recyclable paper version on all boxes of A4 and A3 sized OfficeMax Multipurpose and New Future Opti brands of Copy Paper.

If every customer who purchases these paper products and adds these paper straps to their paper recycling, over 770 kilometres of the previous plastic straps will be diverted from landfill back into the recycling channel – that’s the driving distance from Cape Reinga to New Plymouth!

QR Codes for easier order tracking

Customers can now scan a new QR code that has been added to all delivery labels on each carton.

These provide customers with almost instant access to order information and is especially helpful for orders with multiple cartons.
