The University of East London, London South Bank University and charity Global Action Plan are working on a Green ICT project funded by JISC. The aim of the project is to investigate how barriers to Green ICT can be overcome within a HEI, especially in terms of cross-departmental working and implementing staff behavioural change programmes. We're looking at the specific issue of improving the efficiency of printing to deliver a long-term sustainable solution.

Green Optimized Print Services by Konica Minolta
Sustainability as a key goal for Konica Minolta's new Green Optimized Print Services
Sustainability and the protection of the environment are core challenges and an essential part of Konica Minolta’s management philosophy “The Creation of New Value”.
A multitude of milestones in Konica Minolta’s company history demonstrates how sustainability has always been a subject of our minds and hearts.
We also face the future: Konica Minolta’s Eco Vision 2050 presents a long-term environmental vision to achieve our future objectives and fulfil our responsibility as a global corporation
Our efforts and achievements gain recognition and respect - in 2011, Konica Minolta was awarded as the most sustainable company in the image information industry, coming 70th on the independent Global 100 Corporate Sustainability Benchmark list.
The green OPS concept
Konica Minolta’s Optimized Print Services (OPS) follow the strategy of sustainability. That means Konica Minolta does not only improve the efficiency of the printing and copying environment but also reduces its environmental impact. The green OPS concept includes three phases:
Consult: Konica Minolta’s experts analyse and evaluate the current situation.
Implement: Our consultants suggest and install sustainable and energy efficient systems.
Manage: Konica Minolta supports the company in operating the hardware in an environmentally friendly way.
Konica Minolta always strives to be an understanding partner for its customers. Therefore we offer technologies and services with a focus on sustainable, efficient working environments.
Consult
The green OPS concept starts with an extensive analysis of the current situation. It integrates environmental targets into the optimisation proposal and calculates the power consumption of the actual fleet, based on available data, evaluating savings and environmental gains.
From this data, Konica Minolta understands the baseline TCO (total costs of ownership) and carbon footprint, including energy consumption, paper consumption and total CO2 emissions.
Implement
Based on the OPS optimisation proposal, a tailored fleet will be implemented at customer-side. Konica Minolta printers, MFPs and software offer eco-friendly features to protect the environment.
For Konica Minolta the whole product life cycle is in focus in order to minimise the environmental footprint of the products.
Examples in this field are
energy-saving product-design
compact and lightweight construction
improvement of distribution routes and systems to reduce CO2 emissions
software and applications that provide various saving opportunities
With the implementation of Konica Minolta devices, our customers benefits from many green
technologies such as Simitri HD Toner with biomass, low Energy Star TEC value or induction heating (IH) fusing technology.
Manage
After the implementation phase our customers are not left alone - the goal of the green OPS concept is to guarantee a trouble-free infrastructure and to adapt it constantly to the customer’s requirements. The issue of how the implemented hardware is utilised during the average day at the office is an essential factor - Konica Minolta’s systems have many green functionality such as:
Duplex printing and copying
N-up printing and copying
Proof & Print
My Tab
XPS Print preview
In the process of OPS, Konica Minolta offers customised trainings held by experts who present and explain green setting options for the new devices. Our innovations depend on future-oriented research and development as well as on permanent improvements.
A good example for our future technologies is the sustainable plastic component in our latest devices. http://www.konicaminolta.eu/business-solutions/company/environment/green-optimized-print-services.html

Secure printing (Secure release) DocuPRO
In the old days (a cheesy comedy of printing)
DocuPRO makes sure confidential or sensitive documents cannot be accessed by everyone. These documents are placed in what is known as a safe print queue and are only released once the user has identified themselves on one of the printers included in the network.
DocuPRO also offers a secretarial function which allows authorised staff to print documents ordered by other users
