Environment - Print solutions for a better world

People want to know what they can do to reduce negative environmental impact, not just by using less energy in cars and domestic heating, but also in their workplaces. More and more companies now realize that they need to address the environmental problems we face today.

This is especially important when it comes to your printer environment. Why? Because printing is estimated to be one of the most polluting business activities, mostly due to its excessive energy usage, paper-tree consumption and associated waste.

Sustainability is about finding new ways to improve our lives, and the companies that put sustainability programs into practice are strengthening their brand. Your printing solution is a great place to start your sustainability initiatives, both because of its high environmental impact and because the solutions will save you money.

With Pull Print functionality, nothing reaches output before the owner authorizes it at the printer, regretted print jobs can be deleted, and jobs abandoned in the print queue are deleted automatically. Pull Print functionality basically eliminates those piles of forgotten or rejected printed documents. Additionally, your specified print management rules can block unnecessary printing of on-line content or force duplex printing whenever possible. These simple principles will reduce the number of sheets your company outputs each day, and you will rapidly see that you need to stock less paper than before. Apart from the obvious cost savings, this means that your company is helping to preserve trees while additionally reducing the pollution caused by paper-manufacturing processes.

The use of many small personal printers and scanners always adds up to higher energy consumption figures when compared to using a lower number of networked multi function printers.  Consolidation of your printer fleet will be another way to help the environment while reducing your overall costs. SafeCom’s Central Management, Tracking and Reporting provides complete control of your company devices, points out critical consumption areas, and enables you to effectively reduce your company’s CO₂ footprint.
