Going Green for a better tomorrow

0 32

K Bhaskar, Sr Director – Office Imaging Solutions Division, Canon India said that there were about 3.2 million printers in the field with about one million printers being sold every year. About 250,000 MFDs are currently in the market. About eight million prints are taken in a month, which works out to about 100 billion prints in a year at the cost of Rs 1.75 per print totaling to an expenditure of Rs 200 billion.

“We produce approximately 4.4 lakh tons of e-waste and this is growing at 20% YoY. Less than 5% of this gets recycled,” said Bhaskar.

Most organizations have many small printers leading to unnecessary and excessive printouts being taken. With network printers, for a department or a few bays, the print volumes can be controlled with proper monitoring.

“If convenience, care and control is in place, the cost of printing can be brought down and a greener environment promoted. With Canon, a user gets the advantage of both hardware and software as well as service,” Bhaskar asserted.

“The engine of a Canon laser printer does not need to be switched on all the time unlike other manufacturer’s printers and it can be put into sleep mode when not in use. This helps save a lot of energy,” he said.

With Canon’s printers, ozone emissions are less and the plastic used in the machine is recyclable to boot.

Canon India’s Managed Document Services or MDS help companies move to an OPEX model for printing. “Self awareness makes a difference as people start to think twice before printing. Also every employee contributes towards green IT,” Bhaskar concluded.
