Where do Xerox source their paper?
•
Companies that provide paper to Xerox for resale must meet stringent
requirements that cover all aspects of papermaking, from forest management to
production of finished goods.
•
Xerox paper suppliers must provide detailed documentation verifying
compliance with the Xerox paper
sourcing and supplier policy.
How do Xerox use paper efficiently?
•
Xerox equipment and software are designed with features that allow
customers to make efficient, use of paper including reliable two-sided (duplex)
printing.
•
In mid-2010, Xerox integrated the “earth smart” feature into its global
print driver. “Earth smart” brings several resource-saving settings together at
the single click of a button, such as duplex, n-up, proof print and toner
saving modes, thus making it easier for customers to make responsible printing
choices.
•
Xerox Enterprise Print Services customers have access to sophisticated
print management and reporting tools, such as Xerox Print Agent, which provide
additional methods of encouraging and tracking responsible print behavior.

Deinkability
(Suitability of
recovered paper for deinking; depends on paper grade, printing process used,
age of paper, and other factors. Deinking is the process of removing inks from
the paper.)
•
Ensuring that prints produced with Xerox equipment and materials can be
responsibly managed at the end of their useful life is an important
consideration in our product development process. When appropriate, independent
testing is utilized to confirm that these prints pose no unique challenges to
the recycling stream.
•
While the deinkability of xerographic prints has long been demonstrated,
a key milestone for a new technology came in 2010 when the new Xerox Production
Inkjet printer achieved a “Good Deinkability” rating from INGEDE, the
international association of the deinking industry
