Stop the Press: Pulling the Plug on PALS Printing

29 June 2024

The UCL PALS Green Impact Team proudly launched the 'Pull the Plug on PALS Printing' initiative. This forward-thinking programme aimed to significantly reduce the Division’s reliance on printing, championing sustainable practices in line with UCL's broader sustainability strategy. Over the years, PALS has significantly reduced its office printer inventory through three distinct phases: from early 2019 to mid-2021, 18 printers were decommissioned; between mid-2021 and August 2023, 28 more were removed; and from August 2023 to May 2024, an additional 9 printers were decommissioned. This systematic reduction has streamlined the printer estate from an initial 79 devices down to just 24. Find out more here.
