Re: Double-sided printing

Metro is the regional government for Portland OR and have 325+ employees at our HQ. We have recycling and solid waste in our portfolio. The key factor is setting each employee's computer to print on two sides as the default. We have digital copiers that both print and serve as stand up copiers. The default for the copier is 2 sided documents from 1 sided originals. Monthly measurements were taken for 3 years. The best departments consistently produce about 80% of their documents as 2 sided, which includes those printed from the computer and those that use it as a copier. All departments average 60% of total images as 2 sided copies. The lowest performing departments tend to be those with special needs, such as legal and financial at 40%. We have a print shop that achieves over 90% 2 sided pages and accounts for more than half our copies. HQ averages about 80% for all documents when the print shop is included.

Business Waste Reduction Audit Software
2007-01-08 15:11:30 UTC
Metro (Portland, Oregon) would like to look at software applications that are used to track the results of an audit and assistance program for businesses that receive recommendations for their recycling, waste prevention and buy recycled programs. Also, I would be interested in any software applications developed for other related programs, such as energy or water audits.
Thanks
