Changing printing habits can significantly enhance sustainability
Many industries are seeking to reduce their environmental impact through more sustainable business practices, supply chains and procurement, with Kyocera saying a switch in printing methods could help companies become greener.
This, Kyocera says, could include using the correct print methods, incorporating devices that possess long-life components, switching consumables and reduced energy consumption.
Martin Fairman, group sales and marketing director of Kyocera Document Solutions, says: “Print devices are the workhorses of document processes and consume electricity even when resting idle.
“Most older models were not designed with energy efficiency in mind. Even among newer machines of equivalent performance, there can be a wide range of energy consumption ratings.
“Reduced energy consumption across a large print estate can equate to cost savings and a positive environmental impact. Organisations should select print devices with sleep modes which directly reduce energy consumption.”
He adds: “Organisations that still need to print must choose the right partner to deliver printed documents in the most environmentally positive way.
“It would be a missed opportunity to look at environmental sustainability as simply a box-ticking exercise when considering their next print and document management solution.”
