GreenPrint Technologies announced Monday a contract with British retailer Marks & Spencer to install Greenprint's environmentally friendly printing software throughout it's corporate headquarters.
Portland-based GreenPrint markets software that makes it easy to minimize the number of pages needed for printing office documents. This is the company's first European customer.
GreenPrint cites a study by printing company Lexmark that shows that the average UK office worker prints 38 pages per day, 29 percent of which is waste.
"Marks & Spencer is a leader in business sustainability and provided us with our first large-scale opportunity to demonstrate GreenPrint's savings with a large European company," said GreenPrint Technologies CEO Hayden Hamilton in a press release.
GreenPrint, which launched in 2005, took the wraps off an enterprise-ready version of its software late last year. The company estimates GreenPrint Enterprise saves the average user about $75 in paper and 1,250 wasted pages per year.
