Calculation Formula
Here’s the formula used to prepare the estimate based on the number of office employees you entered.
- Reduce Paper (sheets) = # office employees x 10,000 pages per worker x 30% reduction
- Save Trees (trees)= # office employees x 10,000 sheets per year x 30% x 0.00012(one sheet of paper in a tree)
- Reduce Waste (pounds): # office employees / 2.7 printers = # printers x 100lbs of waste per printer x 70% (assumes 70% of cartridges are returned for recycling)
- Money Saved (dollars) = # office employees x 10,000 prints x 3.96 cents x 30% saved
