This is the latest of a series of tips extracted from the Green Business Bible e-book:

Develop ‘grey’ and ‘black’ lists for your business to filter out materials and chemicals which are not ‘safe’. Black list substances should never be purchased and those on the grey list should only be used where no alternative exits. Black and grey lists are highly industry specific, so you will need to research toxic materials in your business and determine which can and can’t be replaced.
