How can the businesses of today become the eco-positive spaces of tomorrow?
In the wake of new attention placed on mindfulness and the art of mindful living and working, came the highly-coveted KonMari method. In the earlier part of this year, Marie Kondo was instrumental in defining how work and living spaces are organized, rejuvenated and transformed. Through simple steps such as tidying by category rather than location and discarding items that no longer “spark joy”, she demonstrated that tidying could bring our lives passion and purpose rather than be an activity of meaningless tedium.
Through tidying methods such as KonMari; it is clear to see that well-organized workplaces help to increase the good energy of a workspace. Studies show that cleaner and well-organized workspaces:
- Enabled employees to be more efficient workers
- Made for healthier employees
- Helped create good impressions on higher-ups
- Boosted morale amongst employees
This got us, at Obbo, inspired. What if workplace rejuvenation were an exercise in eco-sensitivity as it is in mindfulness?
As a digital marketplace of the future based in Singapore, we at Obbo, always strive to be socially-responsible effectors of change. And it shows. When we advise our corporate buyers with regards to their procurement needs, we talk about how our products could be used to create an eco-sensitive workspace while maintaining its positive vibrations.
The Obbo team likes to term this state of simultaneous eco-sensitivity and mindfulness, eco-positivity. So, with the help of our products, how can the workspaces of today become the eco-positive impactors of tomorrow? Here are five neat ways you could implement in your business’s eco-positive transformation:
Go wireless.
Did you know that going wireless is the easiest way to reduce your electronic waste? It could also help you amp up the health and safety quotient of your workspace. Your employees can now go about their day, without having to worry about the possibility of tripping on hard and chunky wires.
Going wireless can now be made easy, thanks to our AC1750 MU-MIMO Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router. We provide instant quotations using our algorithm for all our products. Visit obbo.sg today to learn more!
Add some greenery to your office.
Your office could do with some horticultural redecoration. Placing some potted plants in your office is an ideal way to add some much-needed greenery, without breaking the bank.
You can even go the extra mile and turn the green facelift of your office into a hands-on, corporate gardening workshop. Your employees will thank you for helping cultivate their green thumbs and minds in the process.
Inspire the eco-positivity in your team with our vast selection of gardening accessories and related paraphernalia. We carry everything from packet seeds to potting mediums to make your Obbo B2B shopping experience, a smooth and eventless one.
Provide ample shelving and storage spaces.
Freeing your office space of clutter will free your employees’ minds of clutter. Providing adequate room for self-organization makes for happier employees. They would think and act more efficiently, given that their workplace is designed to foster eco-positive thinking and behaviour.
You can upgrade and transform your shelving and storage layout with our fantastic racking and shelving units. For added safety and peace of mind, you can even use our industrial-strength adhesives to help reinforce them.
Stock up on organic snacks and fruit in your pantry.
Going vegan can do wonders for your office space. Gluten-free, paleo, raw and non-GMO snacks will help your employees satisfy their mid-afternoon cravings and make working at your business a highly enjoyable experience.
You could even place cool cutlery around your pantry to help them concoct exciting snack creations. Spur their culinary creativity!

Gift your employees eco-positively.
Giving your employees eco-positive gifts helps you kill two birds with one stone. It conveys gratitude to your employees for all their hard work while providing them with beautiful keepsakes they could use to augment the eco-positivity of their work desks. At Obbo, we believe that by gifting eco-positively, you inspire eco-positivity in kind. This is a mutually beneficial relationship which we believe will add immense value to your business.
