How to Reduce Your Energy Consumption and Carbon Footprint with Cloud Printing

By Alistair Nestor, PaperCut: Does cloud printing shrink your carbon footprint? That’s the big question. The answer is: broadly yes. Which doesn’t sound very definitive, but the whole cloud-print-energy-consumption debate is kind of complicated, and it’s simplistic to say that cloud adoption (by itself) is inherently sustainable.

If a business really wants to reduce its carbon footprint, it needs to look at all sorts of things – from energy and procurement to investments and financed emissions. What we can say is that cloud printing and cloud solutions can help your business on that journey. They’re tools in your sustainability toolbox. Not a silver bullet, but definitely a step in the right direction.
