Eco Solutions

 Conserve energy

	•	With HP, it’s easy to reduce the use and cost of energy by right-sizing your imaging and printing fleet, so you have fewer, more power-efficient devices while improving the productivity and satisfaction of users. Pre-set device sleep and wake modes on nights and weekends with HP Web Jetadmin. The U.S. Department of Energy states that companies can save up to 66% of energy costs of printing and imaging equipment just by turning the devices off nights and weekends.
	•	By using innovative technology: You can get up to 50% energy savings over traditional fusing by using HP printers with HP Instant-on Technology used in many HP LaserJet printers. HP estimates that for monochrome LaserJet products alone, the total energy consumption saved between 1993 – 2006 from use of Instant-On Technology represents over 5.25 million tons, equivalent to removing 1.1 million cars from the road for one year.
	•	Utilize energy efficient products: factor in energy cost when evaluating total cost of ownership.

 Print on both sides

	•	Buy printing products with duplex capability and set double-sided, or duplex printing as standard for end users to reduce your business' total paper volume. HP reduced paper volume by 25% using HP Universal Print Driver.
	•	You can set automatic duplex printing for individual printers orentire fleetswith HP Web Jetadmin and HP Universal Print Driver.
	•	An internal HP case study shows that using HP's Universal Print Driver to configure printers for duplexing saves over 800 tons of paper a year, at an annual savings of $7.7 million.

 Recycle

	•	Choose suppliers who will responsibly manage and recycle technology products and offer the ability to trade in old products, so you can mitigate disposal risk and avoid regulatory complexities.
	•	Trust HP to responsibly manage and recycle technology products. Whether we recycle the products, reclaim the materials or put the product back into use, you can count on HP do it efficiently. And HP processes help ensure that confidential data is properly destroyed at end of use.

	•	Choose a supplier that allows free and convenient return and recycling of toner and ink cartridges.
	• HP's industry-leading Planet Partners program, established in 1991, allows free and convenient return and recycling of toner and ink cartridges. More than 106 million HP LaserJet print cartridges have been returned and recycled since 1991. • Around the world, HP recycling is designed to be simple and convenient, from providing collection boxes to, including in many regions, pre-addressed, postage paid recycling envelopes and labels for print cartridge.
	•	Use recycled paper in your HP office printers. All HP office printers can use paper composed of recycled content.

 Digitize paper-based and document-intensive workflows

	•	Capture and deliver documents electronically. HP can help automate workflows and help change the way you do business. With the ability to capture and deliver documents digitally, you can speed document-based workflows, virtually eliminate the need for faxing, and lower the amount of paper your organization uses.
	•	HP Output Server customers are reducing the need for printed pages by anywhere from 18% to 70%, amounting to paper and material savings measured in millions of pages while also ensuring the reliable, time-critical delivery of documents.

 Assess your imaging and printing environment

	•	Determine if you have the right number and mix of devices that are energy efficient, help save resources while still maintaining productivity. Ask HP to conduct an assessment.
	•	Look for a vendor that has network software tools give complete visibility into your imaging and printing environment to discover printing assets - networked or connected directly to PCs - to help you understand how they are being used, so you can project future needs.
	•	By decreasing the number of imaging and printing devices, businesses often can reduce the number of print servers required, helping reduce energy use.
	•	Consider replacing some print, fax and copy stand alone products with multifunction printers. They take up less space and may help lower energy costs of printing and copying. Look for digital sending capabilities in the MFPs that can help reduce paper use.
