Save paper with copiers that feature automatic duplexing and multi-page printing. Prevent waste by purchasing remanufactured copiers and models that can use remanufactured toner cartridges. Give your old copier a new life. Choose models that have been designed for easy disassembly and remanufacturing. Copiers are typically the largest users of paper in most offices.
Copiers are also a large energy consumer.
Most copiers contain circuit boards with lead, and some analog models have other heavy metals, such as selenium, in the drum. Both of these heavy metals pose disposal concerns because they are toxic. Copiers that have automatic duplexing capability help save paper. Digital copiers emerging on the market also present opportunities to save paper with multi-page printing on a single sheet of paper, as well as improvements in paper handling technology which reduce jams and misfeeds. Many copier manufacturers participate in the Energy Star program, a voluntary leadership program established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
