Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Lewis & Clark College recently converted its fleet of multi-function printers and copiers to managed print services contract intended to save energy and reduce paper use. This technology has an innovative software system that reduces ‘orphan’ prints by requiring users to release print jobs, cutting down on unnecessary printing and forgotten jobs. Additionally, this software provides real time reporting of paper usage allowing efforts to reduce paper to be targeted to the individual or departmental level. This effort is considered innovative, in our opinion, due to the extent of the program - it was a campus-wide initiative (massive scale) and it made transparent the true cost of printing each time an individual goes to the machine. In first six months, over 138,000 pages were saved from printing.
Which of the following impact areas does the innovation most closely relate to? (select up to three):
Purchasing
Waste
