Five ways to implement sustainable printing practices with office printing

4. Regulate with pull printing

Regulate office printing habits by introducing smart print management practices. More advanced multi-function printers with pull printing enabled by additional security software can reduce paper wastage by releasing jobs only upon authentication. Authentication can be conducted in many ways, including with personal identification numbers (PIN). Pull printing ensures that confidential documents will not accidentally end up in the wrong hands and keeps the office environmentally friendly.
Smart printers can also help you to archive digitised plans, copy plans for tender submission, and distribute those plans to different stakeholders. All this will streamline the transition from print to digital and back while decreasing paper waste.

5. Recover cash with trade-ins

Besides recycling, some office equipment providers provide trade-in services. Exchange your old printer for cashbacks or discounts that go towards your next purchase rather than simply disposing of it. Be sure to check the website of your print partner for the latest deals, discounts, and cashback policies.

There are many ways businesses can become more environmentally friendly and it starts with more sustainable office printing habits. Printer sustainability may seem like a small step but can make a big difference when you consider the entire supply chain.

Begin the eco-movement in office by educating and involving your colleagues on smarter ways to utilise paper and printers in the office. In addition to doing your bit for the environment, you will be helping your company experience significant cost savings while boosting productivity.
