"Tuesday, Xerox is introducing a Sustainability Calculator, a tool that representatives of its Office Services unit will use to help companies gauge the environmental impact of their printers and copiers. Xerox will enter data about various printers, copiers and multi-function devices (including those made by Xerox competitors) and their average monthly printing volume. The calculator will then estimate the amount of energy and “consumables” — toners, paper and the like — that is used in printing. And it will tabulate the greenhouse gas emissions, paper waste, air pollution or other environmental no-nos associated with the non-transportation-related aspects of the manufacture, use and eventual disposal of the devices." ~nytimes.com
