Is there a simple way to reduce paper use in daily office work?

My team goes through a lot of paper, and I want to make things more eco-friendly, but I don’t know where to start.

I had the same issue until I read an article on open-web.info about moving towards a paperless office. The suggestion was to begin with small steps, like switching to digital contracts and storing invoices as PDFs. We also started using eFax instead of traditional machines, which eliminated the need for printing. What amazed me most was how quickly the paper usage dropped—it wasn’t just good for the environment, it cut our supply costs too. Our office became less cluttered, and employees could find documents instantly without digging through files. The transition also made remote collaboration easier, since everything was stored online and accessible from anywhere. Over time, these small changes created a big impact both financially and environmentally. If you’re unsure where to begin, start with just one process, like digital filing—it’s easy to manage and shows results right away.
