|  | | | | | | Melbourne, Victoria, May 26, 2009 – Pitney Bowes Australia Pty Ltd today called for businesses to join them in a drive to reduce their carbon footprint, and introduce smart mailing practices that conserve the amount of paper used when sending items through the postal system.
Talking from their stand at the PacPrint 09 exhibition, the largest print Industry trade show in Asia, Pitney Bowes confirmed Australians use in excess of 3.5 million tonnes of paper each year, with only 11% of Australia’s office paper currently coming from recycled stock. Nearly 9 out of 10 sheets of office paper is being thrown away, much of it being virgin paper with no recycled content that ends up buried in landfill.
By using smart mail practices including address validation software, targeted direct mail, and more thoughtful paper use all reduce this wastage, as well as helping your company to be greener. These measures are also incredibly easy to incorporate into the day to day running of the business and bring significant cost savings and increase revenues.

Pitney Bowes Australia’s 3,500 SMB customers currently spend over A$20 million on postage annually. Utilisation of Pitney Bowes solutions has helped these companies increase efficiencies and save costs through postage discount breaks. With an average cost saving of 20.5%, this represents almost A$5.2 million off their total operational cost bill.

Pitney Bowes, who patented the first postage machine in 1902, said Australian businesses can access a range of postage discounts by deploying smart mail practices, such as consolidating their mail batches to customers. Simple and smart practices can help businesses qualify for discounts to mitigate the full impact of the postage rate changes.

It also strives to bring together the mailing industry to better understand and quantify our environmental footprint and deliver continuous improvement. | | | | Mail makes up only a small fraction of most consumers carbon footprint. Mail's carbon footprint is very small. For example, running a single refrigerator for a year is roughly equivalent to the creation and delivery of 5,000 letters. | | Nevertheless, mail does have an environmental impact. A robust set of data is needed for accurately estimating mail's CO2 emissions throughout its life cycle. | | Mail is from an increasingly renewable resource: trees. Sustainable forests and their related products are increasing in developed countries, despite growth in population and economic activity. | | The mailing industry has adopted many initiatives to reduce mail's carbon footprint, but must foster stronger partnerships to further expand the environmental sustainability of mail and deliver continuous improvement. |
