As promised yesterday...here is the follow up for Paper and Printing green tips! If youre interested in helping out with any of these initiatives please contact Kym Taylor.
Paper and Printing
1. Reduce paper waste by using the blank backs of waste paper for drafts, scratch paper, internal memos, etc. DONE!
2. Include a "Please Consider the Environment" footer in all your email signatures. DONE!
3. Purchase recycled or remanufactured toner cartridges to realize significant cost savings. (technically all of our toner is new, however, all the cartridges are recycled by Pitney Bowes, whom we lease our printers from)
4. Purchase copy paper, folders, and other office paper products made from 35-100% post-consumer recycled materials. DONE! all our paper is 80% post consumer recycled paper!
5. Begin using EcoFont® for internal documents and save up to 20% on ink costs. Possible initiative for FY12.
6. Establish a paper recycling program for newspapers, office paper, direct mail, white and colored paper, cardboard, envelopes, magazines, and catalogs.
7. Send and receive faxes directly to your computer. If that’s not possible, eliminate fax cover sheets by using Post-Its® on the first page. Possible initiative for FY11.
8. Purchase or lease copiers and printers that have a two-sided copying and printing function. DONE! All of the main copy machines are capable of this function.
9. Choose pre-used, recycled, or Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified boxes and bags for retail use or shipping.
10. Establish a paperless billing program for your customers and encourage use by creating incentives.
11. Sign up to pay your bills online and receive invoices and receipts electronically.
