The Evolution of the Office
.jpg)
Faster, better, more modern and more efficient
It could easily be the description for our Refill Point 2.0, but it also typifies the evolution of offices in the pre-COVID years. Large desktops gave way to our lightweight laptops, floppy disks disappeared, and faxes were completely banned.
In an era of constant technological advancement and evolving work practices, the office landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation. From the cold concrete blocks of the 1960s to the open, collaborative spaces of today, the evolution of the office has undergone a fascinating journey. But then a massive pandemic ravaged our planet, and the very purpose of the office was subconsciously questioned when it became clear that it might actually be redundant for so many jobs.
Post-COVID, we're all adopting a new way of working: hybrid. But we're also realizing the important role the office plays in our way of working. After months of working from home in isolation, many are realizing the invaluable value of face-to-face meetings and spontaneous conversations that take place at the coffee machine or during an informal lunch. The office offers an environment conducive to brainstorming, team building, and building a company culture that thrives on personal connections.
Paradoxical evolution 🍹
As we return to the office, we are not only embracing new job roles and technological advancements, but we are also facing a stark paradox: even though our workplaces have been upgraded with advanced systems and innovative working methods, we still cling to an outdated habit – consuming drinks from plastic cans and bottles.
While we make efforts to reduce paper consumption, implement recycling programs and embrace energy-efficient technologies, the use of plastic bottles and cans seems to be a step backward rather than forward.
Because when you know that if you spend 50% of your time in the office, you will spend five years at a stretch in this space, it better be a place that is good for your well-being and our planet, right?
Solutions are by no means far off
Employees like to see things different anyway. The "Packaging at the Office" study that Dripl launched together with research firm iVOX a few months ago showed that half of Belgian and Dutch employees would like a more sustainable office, and that at least 30% of that same group thinks their employer is not actually doing enough to reduce waste. Since COVID and the energy crisis, these companies have been paying particular attention to costs and corporate social responsibility. Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions that converge at the intersection of these two trends. Think packaging-free snacks in the office, like Bulkbar, and of course the Dripl Refill Point 2.0
