GREEN & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRINT
Want to reduce costs and your carbon footprint? Print less. The world's carbon emissions are rising steadily and Australia remains one of the worst offenders, a recent study has found.
Use our Upstream Savings Calculator to see how much we can potentially save you.
Upstream’s approach to environmentally friendly and green printing means that by engaging in a Managed Print Solutions approach you can not only save money, you can have a green office as well.
Businesses think that in order to reduce their carbon footprint and become more environmentally friendly, it will almost certainly cost more. Managed print solutions are specifically designed to reduce cost, improve efficiency and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.
We will work with you to engage in greener printing by not only reducing cost of your overall office print, but reducing the power, paper and trees you consume and the amount of Co2 (Carbon) that is produced.
The world's carbon emissions are rising steadily and Australia remains one of the worst offenders, a recent study has found. The Global Carbon Project report says carbon emissions have grown by a total of 29 percent since 2000 and Australia has the highest emissions per capita in the world.
With power costs on the rise, they now represent a significant proportion of business operating costs. Reducing power consumption is one of the benefits that businesses can achieve by following a Green Print approach.

The world's carbon emissions are rising steadily and
Australia remains one of the worst offenders, a recent study has found. The
Global Carbon Project report says carbon emissions have grown by a total of 29
percent since 2000 and Australia has the highest emissions per capita in the
world.
With power costs on the rise, they now represent a
significant proportion of business operating costs. Reducing power consumption
is one of the benefits that businesses can achieve by following Upstream’s
green printing approach. Businesses can also reduce the amount of paper they
use, the amount of trees that are cut down to supply the paper they use and the
amount of carbon that is generated via the whole process of printing in your
office.
Upstream will review how much
paper you are printing in your office and look at ways to reduce your paper
usage. Some of the ways in which Upstream helps you achieve a greener office by
printing less is by incorporating duplex or ‘double sided’ printing; swipe and
release or ‘follow me print’ where prints are only released when you are ready
to collect them (how many times do you go to the printer only to find your
prints are not there and you have to print again!) and by looking at how you
move information around you office and looking for ways for that information
not to be printed but to be distributed electronically. These are just a sample
of the solutions that Upstream may implement in your business, all designed to
have you print less, having a positive environmental impact and helping you to
print green.
You would be surprised at just how much of a positive
environmental impact you can have by engaging Upstream. So why not find out for
yourself? Go to the Upstream Savings Calculator and answer 8 easy questions to
see just how much your business can save.
Our Upstream Savings Calculator will very quickly show you the potential savings you can achieve by following the Upstream environmentally friendly approach to printing.

The good news is, while ‘paperless’ may be an unachievable ideal, ‘less paper’ is not that hard a nut to crack, especially for businesses. Reducing your print output is not only a far better environmental outcome than recycling, it’s also a powerful way to reduce costs. |
