In response requests from its customers, Avis is discontinuing the printing and distribution of scores of customer brochures and other collateral marketing materials, many of which it puts in its rental cars.
The company expects to reduce paper consumption by 100 tons per year and, obviously, save a lot of green — money and trees, approximately 1,500 a year, the company said.
