How can green printing save the environment and your wallet?

 This is an interesting question. After all when you think of a printer and services surrounding this necessity, your first thought is not one of green initiatives. In fact, you would be very surprised to learn that there are endless possibilities to incorporate a green philosophy for your organization.

I know you are thinking, this will be expensive and time consuming right? Wrong. Actually, there are many ways in which you can help the environment and save money at the same time.

But first, we should take a look at the facts. Did you know that every 5 minutes 15 million pages are printed and of that paper 90% is virgin tree fiber (not recycled). This is an obvious problem. FlexPrint recognizes this issue and has developed a strategy to curb unnecessary paper use in the office. We analyze your devices and energy output to incorporate a new plan where you use less paper and reduce your carbon footprint. Carbon footptint, what is this? Well, essentially it is a calculation of the amount of greenhouse gasses your company is emanating into the atmosphere. Obviously, we have all heard of the styrofoam cup and how the particles can take over 100 years before they break up and disentegrate in the atmosphere. This is the same idea, reduce your carbon footprint = helping the ozone layer.

There are many ways going green can help your company save money. Many will experience a 50% savings just from paper reduction. Additionally, ink and toner consumption will be lower and many times our plan will combine printers to create better efficiency for the office. This does not mean that you must acquire new printers, FlexPrint can create efficienty and savings from your current fleet. Although, many new printers today are designed to run from less energy and resources so often times acquiring a new machines will not only be more efficient but may be less to run than your current fleet.

There are other benefits to consider when making the decision to go green with FlexPrint’s document management services. There are new regulations going into effect regarding the environment everyday and this change in your printing infrastructure can certainly assist in meeting regulations. Not to mention, the positive brand image that can be obtained from lifiting your organization to a green one. Many consumers have come to appreciate the additional effort a company makes when exercising green ititiatives and practices. Many will intentionally seek out the organizations which have adopted green policies and procedures.
