More about World Paper Free Day

Annual World Paper Free Day helps spread the word about how much paper is being used and wasted. Reducing the amount of paper used daily can help illustrate ways to it at the office more permanently.

Consider these statistics:

  • Office workers on average use 10,000 sheet of copy paper each year.
  • Less than 5 percent of the world’s U.S. population consumes more than 30 percent of the world’s paper.
  • Large amounts of printed paper get thrown in the trash daily – about 45 percent.
  • 68 million trees are cut down per year for paper products.

Digitizing your Paper Documents

Digitizing your documents can help keep the clutter out of the office. According to AIIM research, 51 percent of people regularly scan documents to archive them. Digital backups of documents are handy, but also consider that it was found that 43 percent of companies were immediately put out of business by a major loss of computer records, and 51 percent permanently closed their doors within two years.

If your business has been around for a while, we can assume that there may be filing cabinets, storage boxes, maybe even storage rooms full of paper documents.
