Paper

We all use paper everyday but we don’t have to use so much. For each sheet of paper used, a company incurs not only purchasing costs, but also storage, copying, printing, postage, disposal and recycling costs.

A Minnesota study estimates that associated paper costs could be as much as 31 times the purchasing costs. So, that ream of paper that you paid $5 for really could cost up to $155

We also receive a lot of “junk” mail. In the United States, we use about 52 million trees and 25 billion gallons of water to produce one year's worth of “junk” mail? Learn more about reducing your business’ paper use:
