Posted on July 27, 2023 by Stacy Rogers

Marco is a valued partner with LeadingAge Minnesota Solutions offering our members a one-stop shop for planning, design, installation, and support for technology solutions, printing, security, voice, video, and data.

They are here to service your business needs at any time and have adopted environmentally smart policies to lead their employees, customers, and communities to a greener future.

Here are a few examples:

• Recycle cardboard, metal, paper, plastic, and cans: Marco has been recycling cardboard since 1987. Recycling bins are located throughout their building for easy disposal.
• Recycle toner cartridges: In addition to recycling their own copier/printer toner cartridges, they provide their customers with information on vendor recycling programs. Customers can send their used toner cartridges directly to their vendors or to Marco for recycling.
• Parts recycling program: Trade-in equipment is properly disposed of at no additional charge. Marco has a copier used parts process to efficiently harvest, bar code, and inventory the parts to be reused. Marco is responsible for copies between calls and carefully measures the used parts’ performance.
• Partnership with green vendors: Marco is proud to partner with other vendors and manufacturers with green initiatives, such as Sharp, HP, and Mitel.
• Fuel-efficient vehicles: To reduce gas consumption, they have changed most of their 114 delivery and service vehicles from minivans to fuel-efficient vehicles, and their trucks run on diesel fuel.
• Server virtualization: Servers take up space and require a sizable energy expense. Marco consolidated its 15 servers to three servers to save on power consumption and reduce energy costs.
