Your Organization Wastes 20-30% of Everything It Prints
Sustainable printing solutions do more than reduce paper - they eliminate inefficiencies, cut infrastructure costs, and give you the usage data you need to back up your ESG commitments. ezeep's cloud print management platform helps organizations reduce print waste, extend hardware life, and turn printing from an environmental liability into a reportable win.
Printing Waste Adds Up Fast - In Cost, Time, and Environmental Impact
Abandoned Printouts = Immediate Waste
Printed pages sit forgotten on printer trays, consuming paper, toner, and budget. Print job failures and formatting mismatches force employees to reprint documents multiple times. A single broken printer driver can trigger hundreds of wasted pages across your organization.
Printers Get Replaced More Often Than Needed
Aging printers are replaced due to compatibility issues with modern operating systems - not because the hardware has failed. On-premises print servers run continuously, consuming energy around the clock and requiring constant IT maintenance.
No Print Visibility Means Waste Goes Unnoticed
Without visibility into who is printing what, where, and how much, organizations cannot track abandoned jobs, measure resource consumption, or report on environmental impact. Print costs and carbon footprints quietly escalate without oversight.
Traditional Print Infrastructure vs. Cloud-Based Sustainability
Traditional On-Prem Printing
Thousands of pages per month are printed and never collected
Printers are sent to landfill because of software incompatibility, not hardware failure
No way to measure your print environment's carbon footprint
Sustainable printing policies exist on paper but cannot be enforced in practice
ezeep Cloud Printing
Nothing prints until a user physically releases the job at the device
Older printers stay connected and productive regardless of OS or driver changes
Track pages saved, color vs. mono shifts, and print waste reduction over time
Duplex, mono, and access rules enforced automatically, not just suggested
A More Sustainable Way to Print - Powered by the Cloud
Enforce Resource-Saving Habits by Default
Hoping users choose to "print responsibly" rarely works.
Set global rules to enforce double-sided printing or guide users toward black-and-white - driving down resource consumption without requiring user action.
Stop Abandoned Print Jobs from Piling Up
That stack of forgotten documents by the printer isn't just a security risk - it's a massive source of wasted paper, toner, and energy.
ezeep's secure Pull Printing ensures documents are only released when the user is physically at the device, dramatically cutting paper consumption.
Turn Off Your Last Print Server Forever
Every server running in your environment consumes energy 24/7 and contributes to your carbon footprint.
By moving all print management to our multi-tenant cloud platform, you can decommission your entire print server fleet and directly reduce energy consumption and e-waste.
Stop Wasting Resources on Failed Print Jobs
Every misprinted document caused by a driver conflict or formatting error is a complete waste of paper and toner.
Our cloud rendering engine ensures every job is perfectly formatted for its destination printer, eliminating reprints and unnecessary waste.
Keep Perfectly Good Printers Out of the Landfill
Don’t replace a reliable printer just because its drivers aren't compatible with your cloud-first strategy.
The ezeep Hub connects legacy, USB-only, and discontinued-driver printers to ezeep's cloud platform - extending hardware lifecycles by years.
Less Infrastructure. More Calm.
Move campus printing to the cloud and reduce the day-to-day maintenance burden. Have fewer patches, fewer queue mysteries, and fewer "it broke overnight" surprises.
One Experience Across Campus
Support the real education device mix - Chromebooks, MacBooks, Windows laptops, tablets, and phones - across libraries, labs, dorms, and shared printers without special steps per department or "this printer only works on that OS."
Permissions That Actually Make Sense
Tie printer visibility and access to identity and groups, so students, staff, faculty, and researchers see the right printers by role, building, and department - all without constant manual adjustments.
Temporary Access, Without Temporary Chaos
Support guest lecturers, visiting scholars, events, and short-term programs with controlled access that doesn't create recurring IT work or one-off setups.
Confidential Pages Stay With The Right Person
Reduce tray exposure in busy shared spaces. Pull Printing helps ensure jobs only release when the user authenticates at the printer with their school ID, helping protect exams, registrar documents, and sensitive student records.
Visibility Finance Can Actually Use
Understand usage across departments and locations, support quotas and accountability, and make it easier for busier and finance teams to track print spend without turning IT into the print police.
Cost Recovery Without The Busywork
For campuses that charge students to print, ezeepCampus adds Self-Join onboarding and credit-based printing, so students and staff can self-serve while your institution keeps pricing and access under control.
Sustainability Built Directly Into Your Print Workflows
Set Sustainable Printing Defaults From Day One
Configure eco-friendly defaults - duplex printing, black-and-white output, access restrictions - directly in the ezeep cloud console. Apply sustainable print policies instantly across users, departments, or locations to reduce paper and toner waste from day one.
Extend Printer Hardware Life Instead of Replacing It
Instead of replacing hardware to fit your infrastructure, ezeep fits your infrastructure to your hardware. Connect existing printers through the ezeep Hub and keep functional devices productive for years longer - no unnecessary hardware upgrades, no avoidable e-waste.
Let the Platform Eliminate Waste Automatically
Sustainability programs that depend on user behavior don't scale. ezeep removes waste at the system level: jobs only print when collected, output is rendered correctly the first time, and resource-saving policies apply everywhere automatically.
How ezeep Makes Mobile & BYOD Printing Easy
Go from "I need this printed" to page-in-hand in three quick, simple steps. Invite users with Self-Join using a link or QR code, choose which printers they can access, then let them print from the ezeep app or web app and release securely on-site.
Every Printer Kept Running Is One Kept Out of a Landfill
The ezeep Hub connects printers that would otherwise be replaced - older models, USB-only devices, and hardware with discontinued driver support - and gives them a fully managed cloud connection that keeps them productive.
Most organizations extend their printer refresh cycle by years, avoiding thousands of kilograms of electronic waste and reducing the procurement costs that come with unnecessary hardware replacement.

Where Sustainable Printing Makes a Real Difference
Campus & Education Environments
Pull Printing and duplex policies keep student printing controlled and cost-efficient. Most education customers reduce wasted output and consumable spend within the first academic term.
Retail, Warehousing & Logistics
Cloud rendering and consistent printer profiles reduce mislabeled shipments and wasted labels across high-volume environments. Most customers see fewer reprints within weeks of deployment.
Healthcare & Clinical Settings
Secure Pull Printing eliminates abandoned patient records and cuts paper waste in clinical environments. Hospitals and clinics see immediate improvement in HIPAA-aligned print security.
Coworking & Shared Workspaces
Print access is easy to assign, revoke, and monitor across rotating members and multiple tenants with no IT team required. Members get secure cloud printing from day one.
Enterprise & Multi-Location Organizations
Centralized print management means fewer servers, fewer tickets, and lower energy costs across every location. Most multi-site customers start decommissioning print servers within the first quarter.
Corporate Sustainability & ESG Reporting
ezeep delivers exportable print usage data across every location: pages printed, paper saved, toner consumed, energy reduced. Turn print infrastructure into a trackable ESG metric within 90 days.
Sustainable Cloud Printing at the UN Climate Conference
At COP16 in Riyadh, ezeep powered printing for thousands of participants across 40 printers and 12 ezeep Hubs. Over 10,000 pages were printed, many double-sided, with no local servers on-site.
All carbon emissions from print jobs were fully offset through ezeep's partnership with Justdiggit. The result: reliable, on-demand printing at a global climate conference with a measurable environmental footprint of zero.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we reduce print waste without restricting what people print?
Yes. Pull Printing, cloud rendering, and enforced print defaults eliminate waste at the system level: abandoned jobs, reprints, and unnecessary color output disappear without limiting what users can actually print.
How does removing print servers help sustainability?
Print servers run 24/7 whether anyone prints or not. Removing them eliminates always-on energy consumption, reduces hardware that eventually becomes e-waste, and directly shrinks your organization's on-premises carbon footprint.
Can we keep using our current printers?
Absolutely. The ezeep Hub connects existing hardware to the cloud - including older models, USB-only devices, and printers with discontinued driver support - so you don't create e-waste in the name of reducing it.
Does cloud printing actually have a smaller carbon footprint than on-prem?
Yes. Shared multi-tenant cloud infrastructure is significantly more energy-efficient than individual always-on print servers running in every office. Add the elimination of driver-related reprints and abandoned jobs, and the footprint shrinks further.
How quickly will we see measurable sustainability results?
Most organizations see reduced print waste within weeks of enabling Pull Printing and automated defaults. Reportable data on usage trends and resource savings is typically available within 90 days.
