Looking For Ways to Reduce Your Paper Consumption? Try These
Although paper consumption rates have been lowering since 1999 the rate of paper used by businesses everyday remains at a staggering rate. So what can these businesses do to reduce the amount of paper they use and then have to destroy? Here are a few tips that can have you and your company reducing consumption painlessly.
• Do Away With Memos: Most people are familiar with the internet at this point and many businesses have some sort of interface that allows their employees to e-mail. Utilize this to reduce the amount of paper wasted on printing up memos and other notes on the job. E-mail is a much quicker way of communicating in any case. Rather than printing off e-mails forward them to other workers.
• Fax Smart: Think before you fax something off. There are many times you’d save paper and time if you e-mailed instead. If you must fax something it’s much better if you can use an outbound/inbound e-mail to fax service.
• Use All-in-One Printers: All-in-one printers don’t cost nearly as much as they used to, and the investment is worth it. The ink and paper you’ll save with this format will add up pretty quickly. Newer models also come with options like Wi-Fi, touch-screens and Bluetooth.
• Use Your Scanner: Scanning your documents into the computer means that they can be e-mailed or saved to a disk for easy retrieval, evading paper use after you’ve gotten the initial text document.
It can take some getting used to but trust me making these changes will be well worth the effort!
