Can office tech improve the environment?

That office printer may not look environmentally friendly, but it could be doing all of us a favour in terms of sustainable tech.

Visit your local dump and it’s likely you’ll see a small mountain of old and not-so-old technology – televisions, computers, stereos. At first glance, tech itself appears to be one of the most wasteful things we produce. The reality though is much more complex.

The latest technology can actually help cut down on waste, and is already doing so for many top businesses in the UK. As technology becomes smarter and more adaptable, we can see a dramatic impact – using fewer resources and making better use of those that we do.

If businesses are able to make use of their building’s intelligence, they can work with it for a less wasteful workplace, says Mark Braund, CEO of smart building business RedstoneConnect.

Mr Braund says smart buildings “present a significant opportunity for businesses to reduce their environmental footprint by ensuring that space and resources are used efficiently”. With around 10pc of the world’s energy being consumed by resources such as air conditioning, “smart” solutions that can reduce unnecessary chilling can have a huge impact.
