TM Helping people Use Less Stuff by conserving resources and reducing waste. Of paper, that is. The rise of the service economy over the last 35 or so years has given rise to the paper economy. And even though much of this paper is high quality and easily recycled, we're printing, faxing,copying and collating memos at a much faster rate than can be dealt with by recycling programs.
Businesses have stuff hauled away by the dumpster-full.
By using less and reducing the number of dumpster loads, the environment will benefit, but so too will the bottom line. Given that up to 80 percent of the waste in a typical office is high-grade white paper, there's plenty that can be done to reduce waste. In fact, by creating a system that follows the three R's, it's possible to eliminate virtually ALL paper waste. We know the only papers at our office that don't get reduced, reused or recycled are glossy advertising materials that we have little control over. Scan documents into the computer and transfer information by disk or intra-office network.
