It’s Our Default Setting. Every page printed has an environmental impact - from paper production to energy use. At ezeep, we're committed to reducing that footprint through smarter cloud technology and by supporting global climate restoration. Sustainability isn't an add-on for us. It's built directly into how we design, operate, and innovate. Start Free TrialSee In Action Environmental Pillars ## How ezeep Cloud Printing Reduces Your Environmental Footprint A single printed page produces approximately 5-6g of carbon. Multiply that across thousands of pages a month, and printing becomes a measurable part of your carbon footprint. Here's how ezeep addresses it. ### No More Always-On Print Servers Replace print servers that consume energy 24/7 with low-power ezeep Hubs and cloud-based print processing. Less hardware running, less energy wasted. ### Pull Printing Eliminates Abandoned Print Jobs Documents only print when the user authenticates at the device. Up to 30% of print output that would otherwise be abandoned on the tray never prints at all. ### Enforced Duplex and Mono Defaults Automatic double-sided and black-and-white policies cut paper usage by up to 50% and toner costs by up to 40% without relying on user behavior. ### Extended Printer Hardware Lifecycles The ezeep Hub keeps older printers, USB-only devices, and mixed fleets productive for years longer, reducing e-waste and unnecessary hardware procurement. ### Print Usage Data for Sustainability Reporting Track pages printed, paper saved, color vs. mono usage, and waste reduction trends. Export the data your sustainability or ESG team needs. ### Climate Restoration Through Justdiggit Our partnership funds large-scale regreening across Africa, turning your printing footprint into measurable ecological impact. See All Features Sustainability Matters ## Even the Best Print Technology Has Climate Impact Most organizations never measure the carbon footprint of their printing. Here's what the numbers look like. #### 5-6g CO2 per Printed Page One Inkjet Page = ~5g CO2One Laser Page = ~6g CO2Energy Cost of Laser Warm-Up = ~1g CO2 per page ### 1g CO2 per kg of Paper Produced Virgin Fiber Paper = ~1.2kg CO2/kgRecycled Paper= ~0.7kg CO2/kgStandard Office Paper Weighs 80g/m2 with ~16 sheets/m2 #### 20-30% of All Pages Printed Never Collected Abandoned print jobs, driver-related reprints, and formatting failures generate waste that most organizations never see. Pull Printing eliminates that. Explore Sustainable Printing Solutions ### Making the Planet Greener Together Reducing waste is the first step. Restoring ecosystems is the next. Through our partnership with Justdiggit, every organization using ezeep helps support large-scale regreening efforts across Africa. These projects restore degraded land, promote biodiversity, capture carbon naturally, and empower local communities. ezeep has supported Justdiggit since 2017, contributing 30 Euros per ton of carbon, well above the minimum offset cost of approximately 9 Euros per ton. ## Everything Justdiggit Achieved in 2025 19,000,000 ### Trees Restored to Date Nearly 19 million trees regenerated through Justdiggit's restoration work across Africa. ### Hectares Restored Degraded land moved back toward green, healthy ecosystems. ### Trees Regenerated in 2025 Alone 6 million new trees supported through Treecovery programs in a single year ### Households Joined Treecovery Families protecting and growing trees already in their soil, expanding impact at community level. ## Report: A Paper-Free Future Our environmental analysis takes a closer look at printing's carbon footprint and what "sustainable" really means in practice. Read Free Report ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### How does ezeep reduce the environmental impact of printing? ezeep reduces printing's environmental footprint in four ways. Pull Printing eliminates abandoned print jobs (up to 30% of output that would otherwise go uncollected). Cloud-based print management replaces always-on print servers that consume energy 24/7. The ezeep Hub extends printer hardware lifecycles so functional devices stay out of landfills. And cloud rendering prevents wasted reprints caused by driver conflicts and formatting errors. ##### Does ezeep offset carbon emissions from printing? Yes. Since 2017, ezeep has partnered with Justdiggit to fund large-scale regreening projects across Africa. ezeep contributes 30 euros per ton of CO2, well above the minimum offset cost of approximately 9 euros per ton. These projects restore degraded land, promote biodiversity, capture carbon naturally, and support local communities. To date, Justdiggit has regenerated nearly 19 million trees. ##### Can organizations use ezeep's print data for ESG and sustainability reporting? Yes. ezeep tracks pages printed, paper saved through duplex and Pull Printing, color versus black-and-white usage, and waste reduction trends by team, location, and time period. This data can be exported for ESG compliance reports, internal sustainability reviews, and carbon footprint assessments. Most organizations have reportable data within 90 days of enabling Pull Printing and enforced print policies. ##### Does switching to cloud printing require replacing existing printer hardware? No. The ezeep Hub connects existing printers to the cloud, including older models, USB-only devices, and printers with discontinued driver support. Organizations typically extend their printer refresh cycle by 2-3 years, keeping functional hardware in production instead of replacing it for software compatibility reasons. This directly reduces e-waste and avoids unnecessary procurement costs. ##### Does sustainable printing require employees to change their behavior? No. ezeep automates sustainable printing practices at the platform level. Duplex and black-and-white defaults are enforced through policy, not user choice. Pull Printing prevents waste without asking users to remember anything. Cloud rendering eliminates reprints automatically. The sustainable option is always the default, so organizations reduce waste without training programs or behavior change campaigns. ## Join Us in Making PrintingMore Sustainable Print smarter, waste less, and help restore ecosystems with every job.
