Sustainable Printing
As a papercut grows partner, we are enabling our customers to set and meet ambitious sustainability targets to help preserve the world’s forests.
This system calculates how much paper you use, then converts that into a number of trees to plant. Partners will then plant trees in a project of your choosing, and when you get close to your initial investment, it’s time to reinvest and buy more trees.
Ink and Cartridge Recycling
We actively support ink and cartridge recycling to reduce electronic waste and promote responsible disposal. At M2 Office, we are deeply committed to our environmental responsibilities, and we actively encourage our customers to join us in these efforts. You can send us your used printer ink cartridges and toner cartridges for recycling, and we will handle the recycling process at no cost to you. Together, we can work towards minimizing our environmental footprint and making a positive difference in our shared ecosystem.
M2 Office will continue to provide superior value contributing to a sustainable society by practicing management with an emphasis on sustainability.
