The Carbon Footprint of the Fax Machine

The Carbon Footprint of the Fax Machine There are 23,000,000 business fax machines in the U.S emitting 10,141,264,060 lbs. of CO2 each year, which is equivalent to the CO. emitted by 63,039 SUVS if they drove the same distance from the Earth to the Sun. It would take 340,740,741 trees to absorb the CO2 emitted by these fax machines each year - CENTRAL PARK SOUTH an area of rainforest 577 times x 577 the size of New York's Central Park. 115,000,000,000 sheets of paper are being used by US fax machines each year. 42,550,000,000 of those sheets are going into landfill - x 1042 equivalent to 1042 times the weight of the Statue of Liberty. Approximately 821,100,000 fax rolls are being used by business fax machines each year, the majority of which will also end up in Landfill - 2.6 that's 2.6 fax rolls for every person in the U.S. 13,800,000 trees are being cut down each year for business fax consumption - this is equivalent to 14,907 NFL football fields full of trees being destroyed each year for fax paper. x 14,907 This shows that manual fax machines are part of a vicious cycle that is damaging the environment. One solution is... Cloud Faxing • Cloud faxing eliminates the need for fax machines altogether. Save paper, toner, and electricity and reduce CO. emissions. • Cloud faxing helps companies become much more efficient, while simultaneously helping the environment. Faxes are sent and received from a computer or mobile device without ever having to print a hard copy thereby reducing the security risk and establishing a full audit trail.
