Best Environmental Managed Print Solution for Businesses in 2026
As of 2026, businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and support wider sustainability goals. According to the Energy Star programme, energy-efficient office equipment can significantly reduce electricity consumption compared to older devices.
The best environmental managed print solutions help businesses lower their environmental impact without affecting productivity. This includes improving print efficiency, reducing unnecessary waste, lowering energy usage, and introducing more sustainable print devices and recycling processes such as using our toner recycling program.
At Evolve, we help organisations create more efficient and environmentally responsible print environments through proactive print management and modern print technology.
An environmental managed print solution is designed to improve the sustainability of a business printing environment while maintaining efficiency.
This includes:
The goal is to help businesses reduce waste, lower operational costs, and gain better visibility over their print setup.
Older printers and multifunction devices often consume significantly more electricity than newer models. Modern print devices are designed with energy-saving features such as low-power standby modes, automatic shut down settings, and default double-sided printing.
Many businesses do not realise how inefficient their current print setup has become over time. Reviewing existing devices can often identify opportunities to reduce both energy usage and ongoing operating costs.
What environmental standards do Konica Minolta print devices meet?
The Konica Minolta printers that we supply are of an incredibly high standard, meeting strict guidelines that give peace of mind when it comes to your impact on the environment. These devices have an ‘Energy Star’ rating, meaning the printers must have automatic low power and shut off, as well as double-sided printing. In addition to these eco-features, the ‘Blue Angel’ ecolabel carried by the Konica Minolta devices gives them further eco-standards that limit hazardous substances, emissions, and waste, as well as adhering to the reuse and recycling of used products.
