In a modern workplace, a well-equipped breakroom offers more than just being a place to grab a cup of coffee or a quick snack. Breakrooms have evolved into environments that nurture employee well-being, foster collaboration, and boost productivity. 76% of employees consider a well-stocked, comfortable break room a good place to relieve stress.
Maintaining access to all the essential products is key to maintaining the effectiveness of your break room. Items like can liners, dish soap, napkins, eco-friendlier food packaging, and utensils not only offer convenience but also encourage a cleaner, healthier shared space.
Find out why these essential product groups, when well-stocked, can elevate workplace cleanliness, hygiene, and sustainability:
Cleanliness and Convenience
Having ample supply of cleaning products is crucial for promoting a hygienic break room environment. Take hand hygiene, for example. Providing easy access to cleaning and hygiene essentials ensures that employees can keep their hands clean and reduce the risk of spreading germs and illnesses.
Essential cleanliness and convenience products include:
- Dish soap and dishwasher detergent
- Paper towels
- Hand sanitizer and dispensers
Sanitizing and Wiping

Creating a more sustainable workplace also extends to responsible waste management. Recycling, garbage, and compost bins both encourage employees to dispose of waste responsibly after eating, grabbing a cup of coffee or general use of the break room, minimizing the environmental impact.
