What are the consequences of digitization?
Although it might not seem like the last minute, in reality, we would be very close to it if our current paper usage continues.
Over 68 million trees are used in the U.S. to make paper. The average American, Japanese, and European person use 250-300 kg of paper each year. The average office worker uses approximately 10,000 sheets of paper each year.
These are stats that we don't want to see continue into the future.
What makes going paperless useful?
Not only will you save money on paper and stationery but also on your company's infrastructural expenses. You can move your document storage online and eliminate the need to store, preserve and search for documents manually.
We can save 1.4 trillion pounds each year by moving our document storage online. This roughly equals 728,000 trees. Companies can go paperless with systems like electronic signatures or cloud-based document management platforms.
This is a great step in the right direction.
