Thus far, the campus has replaced more than 400 old
printers, acquired by redeeming a large number of
accumulated points. King estimates that ongoing HP
office supply purchases will enable them to continue
deploying some 50 new printers each quarter.
“The whole sustainability issue causes people to step
back and think about things in a different way.”
Sid England, Ph.D., Assistant Vice Chancellor for
Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, University
of California, Davis
The new printers are all ENERGY STAR® qualified.
They use substantially less energy than the typical
printers they replace from the mid-1990s, thanks to
improved engineering including such features as
“sleep” cycles. They also enable offices to
automatically default to printing on both sides of the
paper and, as networked devices, can serve many
individual users.
“We’re hoping that in many places we have replaced
multiple, older printers with a single, new one with
higher capacity,” King notes. “One of our criteria in
the selection of models was networking capability.
We’re encouraging the departments to network for
optimum usage.”
King says the campus encourages use of electronic
processes whenever possible — e-mailing rather than
copying a document and distributing it in hard copy,
for example. It also encourages double sided printing
and use of new, high-capacity cartridges (and plans to
eliminate smaller cartridges from its office supply
catalog next year).
“We’re really happy that we found a way to use our
points to benefit users throughout the campus.”
Janice King, Director of Materiel Management, University
of California, Davis
“I initially underestimated what the program’s impact
would be,” King acknowledges. “It’s amazing to
realize we’re looking at 35 percent savings in printer
paper usage over previous use volume. We’re also
reducing costs for printer supplies by using high-
capacity toner cartridges. When you consider all the
different ways these printers are helping us to be more
efficient, it’s a program that’s right both environmentally
and fiscally.”
The campus has also implemented a recycling
program specifically for printer cartridges. HP
cartridges are collected and shipped back to HP for
recycling. And the newly “retired” printers are sent to
recycling.
“We wanted to make sure they were removed from the
campus, so as part of the program we shrink-wrap the
old printers in bulk and send them back to HP for
recycling,” King says.
