To put the United States print consumption into perspective, 30% of the world’s paper is consumed here, a staggering amount when you consider that the US accounts for less than 5% of the world’s population. It has also been reported that the average office worker prints 10,000 sheets of paper each year, with 68% of this being wasted, an astonishing amount.

Reasons for print wastage include:

  • Documents not being picked up from the printer- this is not only a waste but also a security threat
  • Printing unnecessary email pages
  • Documents not being defaulted to duplex
  • Printing duplicates

By understanding the full extent of the their workplace print activities, organizations can evaluate their current print strategy, and implement any necessary changes to reduce unrealized wastage, improve security, productivity and plan for the future.
