Today’s conscientious printer quickly dispels any myths about print communication’s role in environmental misuse. Many “green” practices can be incorporated into everyone’s daily work routines, whatever the industry.

Here are a few ideas for around your office:

1. RECYCLE

• Identify all of the material that is potentially recyclable. Then, target the highest volume of materials that would be the easiest to separate.



• Create incentives for employees. Having an active role in a recycling program that grows, reaches goals and creates benefits will motivate employees to participate.

2. REDUCE

• Use local suppliers and carpool to limit vehicle emissions.
• Rely on technology for information storage.
• Use recycled or reusable materials when possible (coffee mug vs. Styrofoam cup).

3. ENERGY EFFICIENCIES

• Turn all switches to “off” when not in use and set temperatures back.
• Pay special attention to conference rooms, basements, restrooms, walk-in coolers and storage areas.
• Replace incandescent bulbs with compact florescent bulbs.
