5 Environmental Benefits of Becoming Paper free.

Green has become the new black. While environmentally conscious businesses all over the world are looking for low-cost, high-impact solutions to become more ecologically friendly, it has actually been the new black for a time.

The average office worker in Australia uses 10,000 sheets of A4 paper annually, with 50% of those sheets ending up in the trash. The excessive use of paper has a significant negative influence on a company’s carbon footprint, not only because of the trees that are cut down to manufacture the paper, but also because of the fossil fuels needed for printing and the chemicals used.

More than 2.28 billion documents have been signed digitally rather than printed out since DocuSign was introduced, allowing anybody to transact anything, anytime, anywhere, on any device. These efforts have preserved:

10 billion sheets of paper, 316,00 barrels of oil

Annual CO2 emissions equal to 27,210 automobiles
Indeed, going paperless is good for the environment. The obvious causes are listed below.

  1. Protect trees

In the previous 40 years, the consumption of paper has increased 400% worldwide. Trees suffer greatly as a result of this increased usage. Rapid deforestation, much of it done to make paper products, is a major environmental concern. For life to exist on our planet, trees are essential for removing CO2 from the atmosphere and generating oxygen. You may help maintain the life of trees by minimizing or eliminating your use of paper.

  1. Reducing pollutants

Did you know that one of the worst polluters in the world is the paper industry? More than 1.5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent are produced for every ton of paper produced. Using less of it will aid in lowering the amount of toxins in our atmosphere.

  1. Lessen travel

Every piece of paper that is shipped across town or around the globe burns up gasoline. Greenhouse gases are also released during the burning of fuel. A lot of fuel can be saved by moving to a digital document sending system, where a signed and secure document is delivered with the press of a button.

4.Conserve water 

One sheet of paper requires 1.5 cups of water. This is certainly food for thought in a world where the availability of fresh drinking water is a growing concern. You are preserving our planet’s water resources by turning paperless in your office.

  1. Utilize the other items less.

The use of paper alone does not harm the environment. There are also the associated consumables, such as ink. Fossil fuels are used in the production of ink, and the majority of inks contain chemicals and other hazardous materials.
