Sustainable Digital Signage: Reducing Environmental Impact

It’s true that digital signage requires its share of energy to operate properly. With that in mind, many manufacturers are considering the environmental impact of using the technology and working to control the carbon footprint left behind by digital signs. The Kitcast

offers a plethora of information. In the meantime, read below to find out about strategies that have been developed for sustainability with digital signage.

trees are cut down to make paper each day. By using digital signage instead of paper signs, many companies are already contributing to sustainability. However, there are steps to take to improve measures even further.

• Low power modes
• Temperature regulation

Renewable Energy

The way digital signs are powered offers an opportunity to take eco-conscious measures. That includes using solar panels to power the signs, as well as other green energy sources. Perhaps that’s wind energy or hydro energy. Biomass energy is another alternative that many companies are using. 

Recycled Materials

Digital signs offer a couple of ways to recycle. The first is choosing signs that are created from recycled materials, reducing the energy consumption needed to manufacture them. The second way is to recycle signs that are damaged beyond repair or simply do not work anymore. 

Lifecycle Management

Ensuring that your digital signs have a good amount of longevity means choosing reliable and durable materials for construction. Quality digital signs might be quite an investment in the outset, but buying them will save you money in the long run, thereby offering another way to be eco-conscious with your technology. Modular signs are also beneficial, as damaged or malfunctioning parts can be repaired or replaced instead of having to buy a whole new sign. 

Content Management

The content you display on your digital signage is arguably the most important part of making the technology work for you. For that reason, managing your content, as well as the schedule in which it is displayed is vital. Your content should be relevant, backed by data, and engaging. You can also consider creating your content in such a way that you don’t need multiple signs to share it all. Remote content allows for changes and updates, even if you aren’t in the same physical location as your signs. 

Software Choices

You’re going to need the right software to drive your digital signs. It should be compatible with your current business systems and easy to integrate with them. At the same time, you want efficient software that performs the tasks you need in a timely manner, which has the added benefit of saving energy. Predictive software is also useful because it can detect potential problems before they occur and allows for necessary maintenance without too much downtime. 

Standards and Certifications

When it comes to energy efficiency and operating eco-conscious signage, consider the products you choose and their ecological footprint. Look for digital signs that carry the

, as they are required to meet stringent guidelines in terms of energy savings and lowering their environmental impact. ISO 14001 management systems allows you to create a system for adhering to environmental guidelines. 

Summary

Taking on environmental responsibility is an important part of running a business in today’s modern climate. By using sustainable digital signage, you can do your part to reduce your environmental impact. Eco-friendliness aside, this dedication to lowering your carbon footprint helps your brand stand out and lets you align your values with those of your customers. There’s never been a better time to get started on implementing a digital signage strategy for your brand and business.
