The cumulative economic, environmental, and workplace quality impact is
stunning:
The costs of using paper in the office can run 13 to 31 times the cost of purchasing the paper in the
first place
It takes more than 1½ cups of water to make one sheet of paper
Over 40% of wood pulp goes toward the production of paper.
Reducing paper use reduces greenhouse gases: each time 40 reams of paper preserves 1.5 acres
of pine forest absorbing carbon for a year.
A single invoice sent through the mail has a carbon footprint of around 50g
Domino effect – less print, less power, less toner, less water, less resources
The average paper document is copied 9 to 11 times.
We are approaching 4 trillion documents being stored by businesses and government agencies.
Each four-drawer file cabinet holds an average of 10,000 to 12,000 documents, takes up to 9
square feet of floor space, and costs $1,500 per year.
Every 12 filing cabinets require an additional employee to maintain.
18 minutes is the average search time for a document.
Paper in the average business grows by 22% a year, meaning your paper will double in 3.3 years.
U.S. managers spend an average of 4 weeks a year searching for or waiting on misfiled,
mislabeled, untracked, or ‘lost’ papers”
