Hi Tejopala,

I don't think we have any formal case studies written up, but I have attached a one-page document which outlines some of the successes that Global Action Plan has had on reducing printing (and increasing recycling).

Some of the key enablers were:

* making the volume of printing visible
* providing clear actions people could take (and not just 'don't print')
* offering support, e.g. in setting up double sided or 2-pages to a sheet printing
* providing feedback on impact, to demonstrate progress

I hope that's helpful. Let me know if you'd like more information.
