Is your office a friend to the environment?
These days it seems as if everyone is trying to be or at least claiming to be environmentally friendly. A major source of waste comes from our everyday printing both in the office and at home. We have laser printers, inkjet printer, fax machines, and solid ink printers being advertised as being Green.
The reality is that different technologies can help consumers with this concern. The paper used during printing is the cause of 80% of a laser printer’s environmental impact. Users can consider if a document needs to be printed which will help reduce the number of pages thrown away. In an office’s everyday printing one page in every six is printed unnecessarily.
When looking into making your office more of green environment take into consideration the options that are out there for you. Ricoh has a line of GelSprinters using gel-based technology that are said to emit less ozone and dust. Xerox’s solid ink line needs no plastic cartridge to contain it, saving on waste. Lexmark has multiple lines of high yield toners with a built in recycling program to help adopt improved print management. HP has solutions in Eco Printing Assessments that benchmark your printing and provide plans to reduce costs and improve standards.
In our current times every little bit will help and small changes can make your home or office a friend of the environment.
