Seven steps to eliminate paper from your workplace

Eight years ago we went 100% wireless and paperless. I have never looked back.  I made the decision after reading a success guide from the Google CEO.  I was becoming increasingly irritated with the state or our office and all the clutter that was amassing – most of which was paper-based. Not to mention the waste, cost and environmental conscious. I also found that some members of my team got into the habit of printing everything. Print, photocopy and file. Repeat. Because a printed email is clearly very useful to nobody ever. I also noticed that if you give people paper they will find a reason to use it.  They will print something onto it, photocopy something onto it or write onto it.  These ‘uses’ all come with hidden costs to the bottom line, the planet and the office aesthetic. Remove the paper and you remove the root cause.
