Saving Paper in Your Office
Offices
up and down Britain are desperately trying to find new ways of becoming more eco-friendly.
The amount of paper consumed by businesses in the UK and the rest of the world is
extortionate. This is causing mass deforestation across the globe, which is
cutting the amount of oxygen being put back into our environment as well as
destroying the habitats of countless endangered species. The digital age has
made it possible to use far less paper than yester year and here’s how to slash
the amount of paper being wasted in your business:
Reduce, reuse
and recycle
A
business is nothing without its staff and educating them is important in reducing
the amount of paper used around the office. Changing your mindset is important,
so don’t just use paper unless it is necessary, like only printing a final copy
and not drafts to read through when you can do your read through on the
computer screen. The next option is reusing paper as much as possible by printing
on both sides or using scrap paper for note taking which both ways can make a
real difference over the course of a year. Lastly, putting recycling processes
in place to make sure that you are doing more to put paper back into
circulation once more.
Invoice and
correspond via email
Everything
we do nowadays in based online and without the internet many businesses would
not be able to function. This makes cutting down on paper usage far simpler as
there are alternative ways to correspond with customers on a daily basis.
Instead of wasting paper all communications can be done via email or phone to
stop so much paper being consumed in business. This can help cement links to
customers who appreciate businesses trying to become more
environmentally-friendly.
Send corporate
e cards
A
time when a lot of paper is consumed is around the festive season as businesses
send out festive greeting cards to their clients to touch base and boost
relationships. Many organizations see this as a huge opportunity to reach out
to current and prospective customers and will not forfeit it for that reason. A
more eco-friendly way to send out festive greetings and save on paper is to
transfer the Christmas mail out to email. Corporate ecards enable you to email
