The place we live is in danger. You wouldn’t let your home fall into complete disarray, so why do we treat the planet as we do? If we all made small changes to our business and personal lives, we could prevent some of the inevitable disasters in the future from ever happening. We can’t wait for everyone else to change before making the switch ourselves. By setting an example in your business, you are helping to set in motion a much-needed change in the way we all live our lives.

What does it mean to make the switch to eco friendly printing? Many companies believe this to be an expensive, drawn out process that involves too many factors to be worthwhile. However, this is not the case. Eco friendly printing will actually save your company money while helping to save the planet. It is important to be educated on how you can become a part of the solution. Especially if your company is losing money by not helping the good fight.

Another term for eco friendly printing is smart printing. Your company can save on paper, ink, toner, and maintenance. Just remember this simple mantra: reduce, reuse, recycle, and renew. You can even invest in eco friendly printers that will help you save more money in the long run.

The fist step is education. Many of us print documents without thinking of how necessary it really is. You would be surprised by how much you save just by making sure we only print what we need. Proofreading documents before printing will also help to cut down on print expenditures. Duplex printing is another method to implement in your company; by printing on both sides you can cut up to 50% of your companies print output.

Finally, make the switch to soy based ink products. They are free from toxic components that are harmful to the environment. Also, keeping your printer in off mode when not in use will save on electricity and increase the longevity of your print devices.
