Around about 2 years ago we pushed our business as green as possible ( http://tinyurl.com/6jx3oso - http://tinyurl.com/64n8l37 ) - removed and replaced equipment that used chemicals or that needed special handling, updated computers, screens, added various power saving options to larger machines, added the FSC and PEFC standards to our business and had a massive push to reduce waste and convince our clients to do the same.
Two years on and the figures are looking good. Our wastage is down, our costs on consumables is down while our business continues to grow. We discussed with our staff and clients about only printing what was needed, not printing more because of a cheaper unit cost and binning the items 6 months later - this has been helped by our investment in digital printing where the lower quantities no longer punish the customer, this is across the board, letterheads, business cards, brochures, booklet, training manuals and much more - 10's rather than 1000's can be cost effective.
If this is an area that interests or concerns you then please give me a call and we can discuss reducing the cost of your print along with the environmental impact.
