LaserNetworks has been leading the charge in environmental stewardship and building an environmentally-sustainable company since before it “became fashionable”, according to the company’s president, Brian Stevenson.
The company has taken numerous measures internally around power consumption and alternative energy use, packaging, recycling and natural or diesel gas vehicle use.
It’s similarly worked to simultaneously reduce for its customers’ the financial and environmental costs associated with printing through the LaserNetworks Cost Per Page program.
Stevenson says that his company uses its more than 20 years of experience and advanced proprietary tracking and reporting software to maximize the life their customers’ existing printer fleet. Although many new printers consume less energy during operation, Stevenson presents that there is also a significant carbon footprint in their manufacture, a balance that LaserNetworks closely weighs and analyzes for its clients.
In addition, LaserNetworks provides its customers with the ability to use highly-reliable and more environmentally-friendly Reflexion toner cartridges, which Stevenson notes were found in an independent study by PE International of Germany to provide greater than 50 per cent reduction in carbon emissions, acidification emissions and global warming emissions when compared to fully recycled OEM cartridges.
The Oakville, Ont.-based company’s distribution system annually saves the environment approximately 100,000 litres of oil and redirects over 250 tons of waste from landfill, without compromising any printer warranties.
