Understanding Your Environmental Impacts
One of the first steps towards building a more sustainable printing business is to understand your environmental impacts. Xerox offers solutions to help you assess your device, print, and content management processes. By setting goals to reduce these impacts, you can work towards a more eco-friendly operation. Additionally, Xerox provides toners and inks that are assessed for safe use, ensuring that your printing materials are environmentally responsible.
Printing On Demand and Automation
Printing on demand is a key strategy to reduce waste in your printing business. From brochures to books, having the flexibility to print only what is needed can save warehouse space and valuable resources. Xerox's FreeFlow Workflow Software can automate your processes, streamlining workflows and eliminating manual tasks. This automation not only increases efficiency but also reduces waste due to errors or incorrect file preparation, ultimately leading to a more profitable business.
Soft Proofing and Responsible Paper Choices
Soft proofing is an excellent way to reduce paper waste and save time in the printing process. By delivering soft proofs to clients digitally, you eliminate the need for physical proofs that would otherwise be shipped by air or ground transportation. Additionally, making responsible paper choices is crucial for sustainability. Xerox can assist in sourcing FSC-certified and recycled content paper, while also encouraging the recycling of paper used in your operations by providing collection bins.
Recycling Consumables and Equipment Designed for Recycling
Recycling consumables like toner cartridges and used supplies is essential for reducing waste. Xerox offers a Supplies Recycling Programme that allows for the recycling of Xerox Genuine Supplies and Everyday Toner by Xerox cartridges, preventing them from ending up in landfills. Moreover, Xerox devices are designed with recycling and reuse in mind, promoting a circular economy. By working with suppliers who prioritize sustainability, you can further enhance your commitment to environmental responsibility.
