Sustainability roadmap

Fellowes helps office buyers make responsible choices without losing operational clarity.

Sustainable office procurement is most credible when it is specific. Fellowes focuses on material transparency, longer service life, packaging review, take-back coordination, and better documentation for buyers who need to explain product choices internally. The roadmap is practical because it connects environmental goals with the details offices already manage: paper handling, shredding waste, archive storage, workstation accessories, and replenishment patterns across many departments.

Roadmap

Five steps toward lower-friction responsible supply.

2026

Material declarations

Priority office products are reviewed for packaging, paper content, plastic content, and published buyer notes where documentation is available.

2027

Service-life planning

Programs emphasize shredder maintenance, replacement-part review, and workstation accessories selected for longer everyday usefulness.

2028

Packaging discipline

High-volume supply families are evaluated for pack efficiency, right-size shipping, and better handling instructions for receiving teams.

2029

Take-back coordination

Eligible product families are grouped with recycling or return guidance so procurement teams can plan disposal before items reach end of use.

Program technology

Useful data for buyers, facilities, and records teams.

76%

Paper portfolio review

Fellowes programs can identify paper-adjacent products where FSC Mix, recycled content, or documentation requests matter to buyers.

3x

Maintenance prompts

Shredder oiling, bag replacement, and jam prevention notes are repeated in quote, rollout, and reorder documentation.

12

Workspace use cases

Ergonomic accessories are grouped by desk type, user pattern, and shared-station needs instead of being treated as loose extras.

Partnerships

Responsible procurement depends on shared evidence.

FSC

Paper and packaging documentation where applicable.

RoHS

Restricted-substance review for relevant electronic accessories.

REACH

Chemical compliance requests routed into buyer documentation.

EPEAT

Imaging and electronic program references when buyer policies require them.
