The Reprographics Department uses and deploys powerful, high volume equipment across the LSE that requires considerable resources to run effectively.
The department takes measures to minimise the impact on both the environment and to ensure that renewable resources are used wherever possible. The following are carried out as standard within the department:
-
The Reprographics Department environmental policy will be in sync with the LSE environmental strategy.
-
The department will support the efforts of the Environmental and Sustainability Coordinator in order to help raise awareness on environmental issues across the School.
-
Any new equipment will meet industry standard environmental specifications.
-
The department will use recycled paper wherever possible but this will not be to the detriment of quality or equipment efficiency.
-
The department will promote and drive resource and environmental conservation initiatives such as default duplex printing and central collection of print cartridges for recycling.
-
The department aims to use 100% recycled stock. Only where technical issues affecting equipment performance and quality prevent this is non-recycled stock used.
-
The Reprographics Department will actively advertise and promote environmental and resource conservation awareness through such initiatives as Open Days.
