Environmentally-friendly office equipment, such as green printers that use toner cartridges, is set to become more popular in the workplace.
Though the recession may have dented people's commitment to going green, perceived as "an expensive proposition in hard times", according to technology firm Ultraspeed, employees are ready to embrace a more environmental approach to equipment and consumables, like ink cartridges.
"I think that the majority of people are conscious of being green in their personal life and this will inevitably fall over into their work lives as people demand more from their employers," said the firm's chief technology officer, Michael Shanks.
However, businesses thinking of immediately replacing their existing equipment with greener products may be doing more harm than good.
"One thing to bear in mind is the entire environmental impact a product has over its lifetime," Mr Shanks said.
"A lot of the damage to the environment is produced in the manufacturing of the product, so switching equipment before it has served its full potential and swapping for environmental equipment may have a converse effect resulting in an increased environmental impact."
Recently, Ethical IT said that UK firms that recycle their equipment no longer in working use are playing a part in helping developing countries.
"We very much focus on UK recycling because then we've got a pretty good idea that it's not going to end up somewhere in the Third World polluting beaches," said Andrew Boddington, the company's marketing director.

A volunteer has managed to raise over £5,000 pound by collecting printer ink cartridges for recycling.
According to the Dunmow and Broadcast Reporter, Martyn Linwood has been running a printer ink cartridges recycling programme since 2004. Recently he set up an operation on eBay, realising the site had significant potential.
Mr Linwood gives the money to a local charity, Support 4 Sight, which is desperate for funds. It has taken printer ink and toner cartridges for recycling for many years.
Support 4 Sight's services development officer, Christine Marshall, told the newspaper: "We are so grateful to Martyn for operating this recycling scheme and donating so much money to us.
"The funds raised through this recycling operation have proved invaluable in helping Support 4 Sight provide services to blind and visually impaired people and their families over the years."

In the US, it is thought that around one third of enterprises now welcome remanufactured printer ink cartridges as part of their environmental strategies.
If you have some printer ink or toner cartridges, why not think about recycling them? It can be a great way to help the environment, and you'll also be helping to drive down industry costs, too, as remanufactured printer ink cartridges cost significantly less than brand new ones.
Helpfully, printer ink cartridges can be recycled up to six times, and printer ink manufacturers assure customers that remanufactured cartridges will be just as good as brand new ones.
Recycling is easy, too, so why not give it a go?
Simply look at the instructions provided by the manufacturer on the cartridge box – many firms will even provide postage materials so you can send them back free of charge.

Companies using printer ink cartridges are being offered a fully-funded route to environmental certification through a new scheme backed by the European Regional Development Fund, it has been reported.
According to Print Week, the scheme dubbed EcoPrint London was established to help printers employing fewer than 250 people and with an annual turnover below £50 million gain access to credible green qualifications.
The initiative, which is being spearheaded by a Steering Group of London printers and stakeholders, will provide fully funded assistance to help small companies to show they are carbon smart, added the publication.
John Pulford, chairman of EcoPrint London Steering Group, told Print Week that "this will help them to reap the benefits of taking environmental action".
"It is the smaller companies that find it difficult to find the time and the money to implement environmental certification schemes," added Richard Gray, commercial director of the British Printing Industries Federation and director of the project.

The importance of recycling ink cartridges and taking a more sustainable approach to printing has been reiterated in an article on a student newspaper, in news that should be of interest to consumers currently struggling to keep control of printing costs.
Written in Royal Purple News, the article recommends recycling ink cartridges as the number one way to green, as according to earthtonesolutions.com, more than 700 million ink cartridges are used in the United States every year.
It suggests that simply dropping off the goods to a nearby recycling centre could cut this wastage out.
Finally, the article recommends printing on both sides of paper, as according to the Environmental Protection Agency website, 85 million tonnes of paper and paperboard are used in the United States ever year.
By printing on both sides of paper, the valuable resource can be saved, it suggests.
This news comes soon after a higher education institution said it saved 30 per cent on ink by switching all documents to the Century Gothic font.
