Smarter printing is set to cut the County Council’s carbon footprint and save money. New machines are being brought in which will generate savings of \u00a3100,000 a year, reduce carbon emissions by 13 tonnes and reduce the number of devices by more than 80%.<\/p>\n

The printers use less cartridges and energy and will also print double-sided, meaning less paper will be needed. They also use less power and recycle unused toner automatically.<\/p>\n

This is part of the County Council’s pledge to reduce energy use and carbon emissions by 30% over the next five years. <\/p>\n

Any of the older printers which can’t be re-used will be offered to schools and community projects. <\/p>\n

Prof Mike Preston, County Council Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: “We are committed to reducing our own carbon emissions by 30,000 tonnes by 2014 – this is a huge amount but it’s these small changes that could make a big difference.<\/p>\n

“It’s very important that large organisations look at practical ways, however small, to reduce their carbon footprint and we are proud to be leading the way in this.”<\/p>\n

The new printers are being leased and introduced in phases over the next few years.<\/p>\n
