Green Initiatives: How Managed Print Services Contribute to Sustainability

In today's business world sustainability has become a foundation of responsible business practices. Companies are starting to adopt eco-friendly initiatives to reduce their environmental footprint and contribute positively to the planet. One quick win is the integration of Managed Print Services (MPS).

Why Managed Print Services (MPS)

Outsourcing the oversight and optimisation of your printing fleet to a specialised provider goes beyond mere printer maintenance. A comprehensive management of printing resources, includes everything from hardware to supplies and workflow solutions. By partnering with an MPS provider such as Sumillion, you can achieve greater control over your printing environment while hitting sustainability targets and becoming more cost-effective.

Environmental Benefits of Managed Print Services

  • Reducing Paper Waste

One of the primary environmental benefits of MPS is the reduction in paper waste. Through advanced print management strategies such as duplex printing, defaulting to black-and-white printing, and implementing digital workflows, minimise unnecessary printing. MPS providers curtail paper consumption, significantly lowering the carbon footprint associated with paper production and disposal.

  • Energy Efficiency

MPS providers focus not only on optimising paper usage, but also on enhancing energy efficiency within the printing infrastructure. They achieve this through the deployment of energy-efficient printers and multifunction devices, scheduling automated shutdowns during non-operational hours, and implementing sleep mode settings to conserve energy when devices are idle. These measures contribute to reduced electricity consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions, creating a greener operational framework.

  • Sustainable Printing Practices

Beyond waste reduction and energy efficiency, MPS encourages sustainable printing practices across the organisation. This includes the use of recycled paper and eco-friendly printing materials, implementing digital document management solutions to minimise physical printing needs, and educating employees on environmentally responsible printing behaviours. All part of a culture of sustainability within the workplace.
