Learn to Go Green With Commtech Office Solutions
Commtech Office Solutions is proud to partner with Xerox, a company that has brought more Green Ideas to the market than any other innovator in the printing industry:
- Solid Ink is earth-friendly printing, generating over 97% less waste than typical colour laser devices. The simple cartridge-free design makes Solid Ink printers easy to set up and operate and nothing else on the market offers more consistent vibrant colour.
- Emulsion Aggregate (EA) Toner is an outstanding innovation that uses up to 90% less energy and up to 40% less toner than traditional toners, while providing a crisp, brilliant colour for professional applications. Virtually all of the Xerox products that do not feature Solid Ink are now using EA Toner.
- Self Erasing Paper and Low Cost Solar Energy Systems are just two of the many exciting new Green Ideas Xerox is currently developing.
Why Xerox?
By choosing Commtech and Xerox, your organization can share in the values of an environmentally responsible global citizen:
- Xerox adopted it’s Environmental Policy in 1991 and by 2007 had diverted over 2 billion pounds of waste through such initiatives as the Green World Alliance and Eco-Friendly Design & Manufacturing
- In 2006 Xerox invested $1 Million in an innovative 3-year partnership with The Nature Conservancy to strengthen and advance practices used to conserve the world’s forest.
- Xerox leads the industry in innovation by investing nearly $1 Billion each year into research and development, and when it comes to the environment, Xerox scientists are never finished.
- Xerox offers a broad spectrum of Environmental Papers, featuring over 15 sustainable products in various weights and sizes.
Change begins with one person. Here are some simple ways for you to bring green into your office environment:
- Make two-sided prints and copies, or print multiple images per sheet wherever possible
- Print on demand, creating documents only in the necessary quantity at the time they are needed
- Install bins in several office locations, making collecting paper for reuse or recycling more convenient for staff
- Purchase only environmentally sustainable papers
- Upgrade older technology to the more efficient ENERGY STAR products to significantly reduce your electricity costs
- Consolidate stand-alone equipment into a centralized mutli-function unit; compared to a copier, two printers, and a fax, a multi-function unit can reduce energy consumption by nearly 70%
- Consider enhanced fax functionality in your next multi-function unit; LAN Fax eliminates the need to print a document before faxing it while Fax Forwarding routes incoming faxes to an email address or mailbox without automatically printing them
- Never throw out a used toner cartridge and consider switching to cartridge-free Solid Ink printers
- Seek out office equipment with remanufactured parts and components
