Dumfries and Galloway Council uses bike-powered Epson printers to raise awareness of energy use

par Epson

Dumfries and Galloway is sending six Workforce Pro WF-5690 printers, hooked up to draw their power from push-bikes equipped with dynamos, on a tour of all 120 schools in the council. The goals of the project are to drive student awareness of energy use, and to encourage the schools to adopt the ultra-efficient printing technology to help meet the ambitious CO2 emissions reductions targets of 42 per cent across Scotland by 2020. Epson's WorkForce Pro printers, which use up to 80 per cent less power than comparable laser models currently in place in many schools in the country, have been connected to a push bike equipped with a dynamo - just five seconds of pedalling provides sufficient power to print one page. Dumfries & Galloway estimate that if they replace every printer in every school with the Epson Workforce Pro WF-5690 that they will save nearly a quarter of a million pounds (£240k) over a five year period.
