International  Point  of  Sale  Joins  National  Health  Organization  Supporting  Environmental  
Practices  
 
(Teaneck,  NJ)    International  Point  of  Sale  is  pleased  to  announce  that  it  has  made  a  significant  

commitment  to  environmental  sustainability  by  joining  Practice  Greenhealth,  a  membership  

organization  for  institutions  and  businesses  in  the  health  care  field  who  are  engaged  in  reducing  
their  environmental  footprints.  
Practice  Greenhealth  provides  practical  guidance,  training,  consultation,  and  business  solutions  
to  help  its  members  in  their  efforts  to  implement  environmentally  responsible  practices.      More  
than  1000  healthcare  providers  have  joined  Practice  Greenhealth  in  the  last  year  alone,  
indicating  the  growing  commitment  among  the  healthcare  community  to  reduce  its  
environmental  impact.  
CEO  Ed  Levin,  says  “Practice  Greenhealth  promotes  the  principles  of  sustainable  energy  and  
responsible  technological  initiatives  for  the  healthcare  industry  that  we’ve  been  implementing  
for  the  last  several  years.  Our  hospital  and  medical  practice  customers  will  be  served  well  by  
this  partnership”  
“We  will  aggressively  offer  Eco-­‐friendly  solutions  to  our  healthcare  customers  such  as  the  Star  
Micronics  TSP800Rx  thermal  prescription  printer  with  a  locking  lid.  This  printer  has  a  small  foot  
print,  is  energy  efficient  and  uses  no  toner  or  ink.  And  for  hospital  cafeterias,  the  Energy  Star  
qualified  TSP100Eco  receipt  printer  saves  up  to  70%  paper  (typical  is  50%)  by  utilizing  ECO  
Savings  Software  included  with  the  printer,  and  by  the  reduction  of  the  top  margin  from  11mm  
to  3mm.  This  is  true  “Green”  savings,  aside  from  the  75%  power  savings  found  in  the  Energy  
Star  qualified  TSP100ECO  printer.”  
 
“We  are  very  pleased  to  welcome  International  Point  of  Sale  to  the  Practice  Greenhealth

on  their  patients,  staff  and  communities.”

education,  webinars,  networking  opportunities,  communications,  and  annual  awards
