Reduce printer paper waste

Recent studies have shown that the average office worker prints 10,000 pages of documents per year, and that six printed pages are wasted each day through erroneously printed files, unnecessary cover pages and other misprints.  That adds up to 1,410 wasted pages per year.  Even when using the cheapest recycled paper, that’s nearly three reams of paper, or about $21.  For a growing business that employs many workers, the cost of wasted paper is significant. Saving paper is one of the most notable characteristics of environmentally stable workplaces.

Reduce toner consumption and your environmental footprint All that wasted paper also translates into wasted toner and ink.  The pro’s of environmental sustainability and a printer management and maintenance plan to monitor toner and ink usage, as well as recycle old cartridges provides significant savings, and reduces your organization’s effect on the earth.



Save money on energy costs

One way to save money in energy costs is by taking a close look at what kind of equipment you have in the office. Are your computers and monitors Energy Star rated? How about simple things such as your break room, dishwasher and microwave? Even if these products are indeed Energy Star rated, make sure that you always turn off your monitor and put your computer to sleep when you leave your desk for lunch or for the day.

Save Time

In many businesses, an overburdened IT staff is charged with overseeing all aspects of printer management, including diagnosing printer problems, monitoring and ordering supplies and equipment purchase decisions.  Few managers and business owners need to be told that these tasks are not an efficient use of their time. Using each employee’s time efficiently not only saves money but also increases productivity for your office. As the common phrase goes, time is money and when you are wasting one, you’re wasting the other.

Save time. Save money. Save the environment. It just makes sense to not just discuss but incorporate green office tips into the workplace and utilize a print management plan from BMI Systems.
