Going paperless is one of the best environmentally friendly office printing practices. However, in some instances, printing is necessary. Here are some practices to make office printing more environmentally friendly:

1) Use recycled paper: Choose recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer waste for printing. This reduces the environmental impact of paper production and saves trees.

2) Use double-sided printing: Set your printer to print double-sided by default. This saves paper and reduces the amount of waste generated by the office.

3) Print only when necessary: Avoid printing emails, memos, or other documents that can be read on a screen. Only print what is necessary, and use email or electronic storage to keep records.

4) Go digital: Encourage the use of digital documents instead of paper. Use email or file-sharing services to distribute documents and collaborate with colleagues.

5) Use energy-efficient printers: Use printers with an ENERGY STAR rating, which are designed to use less energy and reduce carbon emissions.

6) Recycle ink and toner cartridges: Don’t throw away empty ink and toner cartridges. Recycle them instead to reduce waste and conserve resources.

7) Control printer use: Limit access to printers and require a password or authorization code to print. This ensures that printing is done only when necessary, and reduces waste.

By implementing these practices, your office can reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainable printing practices.
