Trying to find ways to reduce your office’s paper use? Don’t look across the pond for help.
Businesses in the UK are generating more waste paper than ever, according to a recent study by business services company Office2Office.
Despite the push to move to a paperless office, digital documents are copied onto paper an average of 11 times. In fact, increased reliance on digital docs may actually be increasing the amount of paper being used — documents that get created digitally are printed as many times as those that started out as paper.
Why? For one, many companies keep paper back-ups because of constantly changing electronic formats. Second, employees simply like using paper, and businesses may need to rely more heavily on policies and controls to curb paper use.
