Reducing Print Costs While Boosting Sustainability

Print costs and environmental impact are two sides of the same coin — reducing waste reduces both.

Set double-sided printing as the default on every device. This alone can cut paper consumption by up to 40%.

Use your print management software to discourage unnecessary color printing and large jobs. Route high-volume jobs to the most efficient device.

A single multifunction printer often replaces three standalone devices — saving energy, space, and maintenance overhead.

Ricoh offers toner cartridge recycling programs. Used cartridges are refurbished or recycled into raw materials, keeping them out of landfills.

You can't manage what you don't measure. Track pages per user per month and share reports with department heads. Awareness alone drives a 10–15% reduction in most offices.
