Printing is an integral part of our daily lives, whether at home, in the office or at school.
But have you ever thought about its environmental impact? Paper, electricity, empty cartridges... Every print job has a cost for the planet.

👉 Good news: printing more sustainably is within everyone's reach.
Here are 5 simple steps you can take today to reduce your carbon footprint:

1. Choose your printer carefully from the start

It all starts with the right equipment. A high-performance, energy-efficient printer is the foundation.

✅ Choose a model with the following functions:

- Automatic double-sided printing (less wasted paper)
- Ink save mode (less ink waste)
- Energy Star Certification (reduced power consumption)

💡 Tip: Many recent models offer an “eco” mode that can be activated with one click.


2. Choose compatible or remanufactured cartridges

It is the ecological and economical gesture par excellence.

✔️ At Cartouche Verte, we offer:

- High-quality compatible cartridges (for HP, Epson, Canon, Brother, etc.), tested to guarantee optimal printing
- Cartridges remanufactured locally in France, cleaned, refilled and tested one by one

🌍 Result: less waste, up to 60% savings, with quality equivalent to the original.


3. Reduce your paper consumption

Paper remains a precious resource. Using it wisely is essential.

📝 Best practices:

- Enable double-sided printing by default
- Use recycled or FSC/PEFC certified paper
- Reuse single-sided printed sheets as drafts or note sheets

💡 These small gestures make a real difference in the long run.


4. Adopt eco-friendly habits on a daily basis

Greener printing is often a matter of habits:

Before printing:

- Proofread your document on screen to avoid mistakes
- Use “draft mode” for internal documents
- Prefer black and white printing when color is not essential

👉 Result: less ink, less paper, more efficiency.


5. Never throw your empty cartridges in the trash!

A used cartridge is not classic waste: it can be recycled or reconditioned.

♻️ What to do with your empty or used cartridges?

- Drop them off at collection points (supermarkets, town halls, etc.)
- Or better yet: return them directly to us! Cartouche Verte provides you with a free T envelope in each package for the return of your ink cartridges (excluding toners for the moment).

✅ A simple gesture, but a real impact on the environment.
