10 easy ways to help the environment 18 júlí 2019 19 október 2022 4 Minutes read Posted By Brother Nordics Global Technology Solutions and Services Provider Brother Nordic A/S 18 júlí 2019 19 október 2022 4 Minutes read At Brother we work constantly to reduce our impact on the environment. In fact, we were the first printer manufacturer to receive Blue Angel certification on inkjet devices. A Blue Angel label signifies long service life, low energy usage and minimal environmental impact. As part of our environmental policy we are also committed to helping our customers to do their bit. We all want to be greener, and we’re here to help. That’s why we’ve come up these top 10 easy environment tips that can help you make a real difference. 10 ways for a happier planet 1. Recycle your Brother print cartridges Just package them up and send them back to us, free of charge, and we’ll do the rest. Doing this also supports our work with the environmental charity Cool Earth. 2. Print double sided A simple change to your print settings can halve your paper usage in a single click. 3. Only print the pages you need It sounds obvious, but we’ve all printed 30-page documents when we only actually want a couple of pages! 4. Always use the printer's standby function According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 16% of domestic energy consumption is caused by appliances left in standby mode*. We recommend that the standby function is used for our printers. 5. Buy from companies with eco-friendly policies If customers support greener ways of doing business, more companies will adopt them. 6. Recycle your old or broken printer Old printers don’t belong in your bin! It’s easy to find your nearest recycling centre online. 7. Use newer, more energy efficient machines When you’re buying a new printer, look for its energy rating and environmental credentials. 8. Print grayscale If you’re printing a black & white document, go to settings and click on the ‘Grayscale’ option. It can help reduce the amount of ink you use. 9. Consider your print quality settings Adjust your print quality settings when printing draft documents. Lowering the resolution will save you ink and time. 10. Use genuine supplies Using original ink cartridges and toner cartridges minimises your energy consumption. Brother printers are designed to work with your genuine supplies to reduce waste and the impact that you have on the environment.
