For offices that are working to reduce their carbon footprint, new printers and photocopiers may make the most impact. According to the Environment Protection Agency, printers and copiers can represent up to 70% of an office’s total energy usage and, depending on the printing speed, may use an equivalent amount of energy as 20 desktop computers. In addition to the energy consumed, overuse of copiers and printers is another common source of waste in an office. Since saving energy, paper and ink also saves cost, there is no reason to delay investment in new office equipment.
