Grenk and LaserCycle answer KCP&L’s challenge to ‘green’ their printing operations to reduce the major energy supplier’s carbon footprint
Grenk and LaserCycle answer KCP&L’s sustainability challenge to ‘green’ their printers and print supplies
Using Grenk products to green their operations and increase efficiency, Kansas City Power & Light lauded the financial and environmental benefits of using Grenk and LaserCycle products.
“LaserCycle [and Grenk] helped KCP&L’s printers go ‘green,’ said Lora Cheatum, VP Procurement, who presented the green printer challenge. “Their remanufactured printer cartridges actually cost less than what we had been paying, and their zero-landfill recycling program supports the Company’s commitment to be more energy efficient and to improve the total living environment of the customers and communities we serve.”
Working through the Grenk affiliated LaserCycle, the 127 year-old energy supplier continues to implement environmental programs to lessen their impact on the environment, while saving money and keeping rates low for their customers. Visit their “Preserving the Environment” page of their website to learn more about their efforts.
The major Midwest energy supplier, servicing more than 800,000 customers in 47 counties, believes that dedication and leadership in fuel procurement, plant technology, and efficient power production and distribution is key in sustainable energy management.
Grenk would like to return the favor of investing in our green products by thanking the KCP&L for everything they do and continue to do to lessen their carbon footprint.
