Apply the 3Rs principle:

1- Reduce paper usage:

  • ensure default setting on the printer is for double side printing, black and white
  • implement a pull printing system

See more Best Practices in Paper & Printing in our Green the Office category.

2- Reuse paper:

  • reuse as draft paper
  • put a "draft paper" box near your printer

3- Recycle properly:

Paper is easily recyclable. It can be recycled up to 7 times.

  • install a paper bin next to the printer.
  • use a suitable contractor for the collection and recycling of paper.
