Duplex printing enables both sides of the paper to be printed on.

Why
Using the duplex printing function reduces paper costs and associated biodiversity loss from paper consumption.

How
Educate staff via a memo or instructional document explaining how to set printers to duplex by default.

How we calculate this

SMEs in Victoria use an average of 201.66 reams of paper per year. Assuming a business employs duplex printing for half of all their prnting requirements a 25% reduction in paper can be achieved. Each ream of paper weighs approximately 2.5kgs and for every kg of paper saved, 1.867 kg CO2-e is saved. (201.66 X .25 X 2.5 X 1.867 = 235.3kgCO2-e)
