Sustainability

Greening maroon and gold logoWhen ASU and Canon partnered in 2007, we agreed to build a Sustainable Digital University. Today the ASU Canon Strategic Alliance  is committed to Arizona State University's efforts to become completely sustainable and carbon neutral by 2035Print Assessments help to reduce the number of desktop printers on campus. When departments replace multiple inkjet printers with a single multifunction copier they save money, increase productivity and become more sustainable. The ASU Canon Strategic Alliance has partnered with the Print and Imaging Lab to meet the demand for high volume printing while using less energy by utilizing production print devices. And finally, our public print service, Print Anywhere, uses 100% recycled paper.
