It's already been said that this won't work. However, an enclosure around the printer and a high quality HEPA filter should work, although it's not specifically my background. Just trying to give an idea you can take to them, if you find out it will work. Sucks that they're forcing this on you, but office politics are finicky and it's better to offer a solution when saying no.

Edit: HEPA may not be ideal. Here's a blog post to get you started on filters that might work. https://molekule.com/blog/the-best-air-purifier-for-3d-printer-fumes-and-other-pollutants/

I was going to comment that HEPA is for particulate filtration but won't be helpful for chemical vapors. A small amount might adsorb, but a filter designed for vapors (usually with activated charcoal in it) will be much safer.
