7 Recycled printers
The world of printing presents a myriad of opportunities to green the office.

Switching off a printer when not in use, using recycled paper, printing duplex as standard and recycling ink cartridges are all standard ways to make printing more environmentally acceptable. But now some printer makers are taking things a step further -- this HP Deskjet D2545 has a body made of 83 per cent recycled plastic.

There's doubtless more printing greenery coming in the future: the Xerox Research Centre of Canada and Parc claims to have invented a method that will allow printed-on paper to be reused. After a period of time, the ink will fade, meaning the paper can be printed on once again.
