Page 2: Why go Green?

Take a minute to look around the room you're in and notice how many things are

made out of paper. There may be books, a few magazines, some printer paper, and

perhaps a poster on the wall.

The fact is, world consumption of paper has grown 400% in the

last 40 years. Now nearly 35% of the total trees cut around the

world are used in paper industries on every continent. Besides

what you can see around you, paper comes in many forms from

envelopes to cardboard packaging to printers to scanners to

electrical plugs. In short, paper is everywhere.

Rainforests are most obviously a source of wood, cut to make timber or pulped to produce paper & packaging. Global trade in tropical timber is valued at approximately $16 billion, of which half is exported to China, to be turned into the furniture, flooring & paper. The bulk of this is harvested unsustainably and/or illegally.

Over half the world’s plant and animal species are found in the rain forests. 15 million hectares of tropical forests are lost every year - an area larger than the size of England. Over 40% of trees cut in British Columbia are used to produced paper. Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere 6% & experts estimate that the remaining rainforests could be consumed in less than 40 years. The Rethinking Printing Report found that despite a high level of environmental concern (63%), office workers are failing to change their workplace printing behaviour, printing as much paper as ever with more than a third printing more than they did last year. Only 22% claimed to have printed less.

4 billion trees are cut down each year just to satisfy the world’s paper needs. This amount

represents 35% of the actual trees cut down.

70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials If no action is taken, rainforests will practically disappear within 50 years.

How much paper

is in one tree?

It really all depends on the size of the tree. According to pa-per manufacturer Boise Cascade, however, a cord of wood (wood stacked 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet, or 128 cubic feet) produces nearly 90,000 sheets of paper or 2,700 copies of a 35-page newspaper!

There’s a number of small things you can do which can make a huge difference. Recycle

We’re told to do it all the time. Yet most of us still don't do it. Reduce your printing.

According to a recent report almost 70% of paper sheets printed by office workers in a year are "wasted or unnecessary". Get a managed print solution (MPCS) With a managed print solution you can reduce your co2 footprint whist saving up to 50% on your total costs.

The cornerstone of any Managed Print & Copy Service from DTP lies in helping you reduce and control your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). When you buy new hardware, the purchase price represents just a fraction of the TCO - the majority of the expense is “hidden” in items such as:

Consumables Support Software - licenses & upgrades Warranties, maintenance, training & helpdesk calls Network management and administration Infrastructure - energy consumption, physical space occupied User intervention and downtime

A DTP Managed Print and Copy Service will help identify, reduce and control your print associated TCO through flexible design, optimisation of your environment & effective, ongoing management. Benefits include:

Reduce current Print costs by up to 50% Improved Visibility manageability Dramatically reduce paper consumption Carbon footprint reduction (Corporate Social Responsibility) Significant Return on Investment (ROI) Dedicated Account Management & Technical support

Users themselves deleted a further 427,056 pages printed in error.
