Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring an environmental footprint for a printing device. A system for measuring an environmental footprint for a printing device may include a processor communicating with an output device and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the processor. The computer-readable storage medium may contain one or more programming instructions for providing at least one value for a measurement factor pertaining to the printing device, selecting one or more environmental footprint outputs based on a total impact of creation, usage and disposal of the printing device, determining an estimated emissions profile regarding one or more selected environmental footprint outputs including an amount of emissions to air and/or emissions to water, and causing a difference between the estimated emissions profile and an initial emissions profile to be displayed on the output device.
