In an era where environmental responsibility is more than just a trend, businesses are increasingly seeking ways to reduce their ecological footprint. One significant area where companies can make a positive impact is in their printing and copying practices. By adopting eco-friendly printing solutions, you not only contribute to a healthier planet but also enjoy cost savings and enhanced brand reputation. Here’s how your business can go green with the help of STAT Business Systems.
1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Equipment
Modern printers and copiers are designed with energy conservation in mind. Upgrading to energy-efficient models can significantly reduce your power consumption. Look for devices with ENERGY STAR® certification, which meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
At STAT Business Systems, we offer a range of office printers that are both energy-efficient and high-performing. These machines use less electricity without compromising on quality or speed, helping you save on utility bills while reducing your carbon footprint.
2. Implement Managed Print Services
Managed Print Services (MPS) optimize your printing infrastructure by monitoring usage, automating supplies replenishment, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste. MPS can lead to significant reductions in paper and toner consumption.
Our copier maintenance and MPS solutions at STAT Business Systems help you manage your printing environment more sustainably. We analyze your current setup and recommend strategies to minimize environmental impact while enhancing efficiency.
3. Utilize Recycled Materials
Switching to recycled paper and remanufactured toner cartridges is a simple yet effective way to promote sustainability. Recycled paper has come a long way and now offers quality comparable to standard paper. Remanufactured cartridges reduce waste by reusing components.
We can guide you in sourcing high-quality recycled supplies that work seamlessly with your equipment. This change not only supports the environment but can also reduce your supply costs.
4. Embrace Digital Document Management
Reducing paper usage is one of the most impactful steps toward eco-friendly operations. By adopting digital document management systems, you can store, share, and collaborate on files electronically, minimizing the need for physical copies.
Our color multifunction copiers come equipped with advanced scanning and digital workflow capabilities. These features allow you to easily digitize documents and integrate them into your business processes.
5. Encourage Responsible Printing Habits
Promote a culture of sustainability within your organization by encouraging responsible printing practices:
- Default Duplex Printing: Set printers to automatically print on both sides of the paper.
- Print Preview and Proofing: Encourage staff to review documents on-screen before printing.
- Use Eco-Friendly Fonts: Some fonts consume less ink than others; switching to these can save toner.
6. Regular Maintenance for Optimal Performance
Well-maintained equipment operates more efficiently and uses less energy. Regular servicing ensures that your printers and copiers are functioning at their best, preventing energy waste due to malfunctions.
STAT Business Systems provides comprehensive printer and copier repair services. Our technicians ensure your equipment remains in top condition, contributing to both sustainability and productivity.

Going green with your printing solutions is not just beneficial for the environment—it also offers tangible advantages for your business, including cost savings and improved efficiency.
