The best waste is waste that is not produced in the first place!

How to save paper:

  • Don't print out every document
  • proofread directly on the screen
  • Double-sided printing (duplex function)
  • Send an e-mail instead of a letter
  • File documents electronically
  • Send faxes directly from the PC
  • Reduce two A4 pages and print on one page
  • Collect misprints in a batch box
  • Use the back of the misprints as note paper for printing internal papers
  • Copy documents to disc or USB stick instead of printing backup copies
  • Scan texts, graphics and photos at the printer and send them electronically
