Go Paperless. Save Paper. Save Trees. Help save the Lungs of the Earth

A PAPERLESS ECO-SYSTEM, ALSO CALLED A PAPER-FREE OFFICE, IS A WORK ENVIRONMENT WHICH USES MINIMAL PHYSICAL PAPER AND INSTEAD USES PRIMARILY DIGITAL DOCUMENTS. A PAPERLESS COMPANY IS ONE WHO HAS ELIMINATED OR GREATLY REDUCED THE USE OF PAPER IN THE WORKPLACE. THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING PAPER FILES INTO ELECTRONIC FILES IS KNOWN AS DIGITIZATION.

THE IDEA OF AN ENTIRELY PAPERLESS OFFICE HAS EXISTED SINCE PERSONAL COMPUTERS BECAME THE BASIS OF THE MODERN WORKPLACE. DESPITE THE PREVALENCE OF ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS AND EMAIL, MOST ORGANIZATIONS STILL RELY ON PAPER DOCUMENTS. THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS OF GOING PAPERLESS, FROM SAVING RESOURCES TO BOOSTING SECURITY. YET FROM HANDOUTS AT MEETINGS AND HR ONBOARDING DOCUMENTS TO RECEIPTS, MANY BUSINESS PROCESSES STILL REVOLVE AROUND PAPER.
