Go Green and Save Green

Gordon Document Products Goes Green

Go Green with Document Management

In addition to Biodiesel, our document management products are designed to make your office more environmentally friendly. By reducing, if not eliminating, paper files and trimming the amount of paper that is transferred between employees and clients, you will shrink your carbon footprint and lessen your electricity bills. With a digital repository for documents, your needs for paper faxing, shipping and file cabinets will drastically diminish. Plus, you will have the ability to integrate electronic forms to eliminate excess waste and improve workflows.

Reducing our Environmental Impact

In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment, every new system GDP carries meets the new Energy Star certification guidelines:
*25% greater energy efficiency on average, while delivering the same performance as less efficient conventional equipment.
*Consuming about half the electricity of standard models and powering down when not in use.
*Ability to print on double-sided (duplex) pages, reducing both copying and paper costs.
*Running cooler and lasting longer than conventional equipment, so businesses can also save on air conditioning and maintenance costs.
Because office machines are often running for long periods of time (even 24 hours a day), Energy Star certification can result in significant corporate savings. Imaging products with the new Energy Star specification will save more than $3 billion over the next 5 years – and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 4 million cars. Even in a small home office, an imaging product with Energy Star certification can save $115 over its working life.
 

Printing Tips to Protect the Environment

At Gordon Document Products people are encouraged to conserve energy and reduce paper consumption by following simple printing tips that also improve productivity. Most products we offer can be automatically programmed to save paper and enter Power Saving modes. Here are a few printing tips we follow that could help your office as well:
*Setting print drivers to automatically print double-sided prints (Auto Duplex).
*Shifting each device to “Power Save Setting” after sitting idle for a selected interval.
*Printing presentation handouts and other documents at least “2 UP” to combine several slides on to one page.
*Using energy-saving mode settings on MFPs outside of normal business hours.
*Printing to devices that are energy efficient, productive, and cost-effective – even if this means expanding internal energy while walking away from our desks to use centrally located devices.
*Consolidating imaging devices with one centrally located MFP that uses less energy.
*Using recycled paper when possible.
 

Biodiesel

As an environmentally and socially conscious company, GDP manufactures and burns our own biodiesel fuel from recycled vegetable oil. As a reflection of our commitment to our community, not only do we collect waste vegetable oil from our partner restaurants, we also manufacture the fuel in our custom designed processing facility. Gordon Document Products is one of the first companies in the United States to manufacture biodiesel for its own use! Click here to read more.
