It’s Not Easy Being Green…Or Is It?

We celebrated the first Earth Day in 1970, and over the past 45 years, we’ve seen a growing emphasis on the impact we have on our environment. Consumers and businesses alike are tasked with being more conscious about our decisions, our actions and our earth. It’s a challenge for sure. Just how do you  balance everyday tasks that have an environmental footprint (like your commute to work) with a desire to make more sustainable choices?

In the workplace, sustainability challenges abound, and print’s often viewed as a place to make improvements.  Moving parts of your business process to digital workflows can help and makes good business sense but printed documents still play a critical role in running any company.

At Xerox, we’re committed to helping your reach your environmental goals. Our multifunction printers built on Xerox® ConnectKey® Technology allow you to seamlessly integrate your paper and digital workflows. For printed documents, sustainability features like the following are core capabilities of our devices:

• Xerox® solid ink technology lets you enjoy brilliant color output with the use of four small solid ink sticks that eliminate bulky toner cartridge. This lets you reduce printer waste by up to 90% compared to traditional laser printers.
• Two-sided printing and digitized workflow solutions reduce paper use while streamlining and simplifying your work.
• Our reclamation and recycling programs that have allowed us to keep 38,000 tons of waste out of landfills.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and hope that we can play a part in your organization’s sustainability goals. To learn more visit our Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability site.
