Smarter Printing in an economic downturn

It is estimated that firms and other organisations across EMEA could save between $11,600 million and $25,000 million per year on printing costs from more efficient management of business printing functions.
 
The productivity benefits would spread throughout the EMEA economy, allowing us to produce more with fewer resources. This will help to raise living standards and business investment while reducing consumer prices. It is forecast that a shift to more efficient printing practices could boost EMEA output by up to $31,900 million per annum as companies become more efficient.

This white paper explores how adopting more efficient printing processes can benefit the environment, whilst also reducing organisations’ costs. The wider environmental consequences of this increase in efficiency are substantial, since printing according to need can reduce organisations’ use of natural resources and emissions output. If companies adopted the most efficient printing processes, resource usage and emissions could be reduced by up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 - the equivalent of removing 400,000 cars from the roads.
