The recycling of printer cartridges and technology office equipment, in addition to the purchase of environmentally-friendly office products were measures recently outlined by the company as initiatives that have helped to improve its own sustainability.
Held at the Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood, California, the green office supplies advocator formed part a forum that discussed methods for adopting environmental practices in paper distribution, marketing and printing.
"Creating a greener office is becoming increasingly attainable for today's business professionals and consumers," Mr Siddiqui said.
"Simple changes such as switching to recycled paper, printing on both sides of the page, recycling empty ink and toner cartridges, purchasing Energy Star-rated electronics and recycling old technology can make a big difference," he added.
Hollywood has been recognised in recent years for its efforts to tackle global warning through green initiatives within the music, broadcast, film and television industries, according to the Hollywood Goes Green website.
