Go Paperless the Simple Way

Paperless business forms seems like an intimidating term doesn’t it? Paperless business forms and the word ‘simple’ don’t really go hand in hand. Is natural to be sceptical when someone explains the straightforwardness of using something called SignTech paperless solutions. Recycling paper is an important practice that helps to conserve resources and protect the environment but recycling paper is not the best option to reduce paper waste -it’s far better to stop using paper. 

With that in mind, we have a something for you; its an explanatory video, which I think is the best so far personally, made by one of our users who is just 16 years old (kind makes you think about what you’re doing with your life right now). In the video they explain how to use SignTech and why you should be doing it right now. So without further ado… I present to you, SignTech. Simplified

Here are Some Eye-Opening Statistics About Paper Recycling:

1. Paper recycling saves trees: Did you know that recycling one ton of paper can save around 17 trees? According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling paper reduces the demand for virgin wood pulp, which helps to preserve forests and wildlife habitats.

2. Energy savings: Recycling paper also saves a significant amount of energy. The EPA estimates that recycling one ton of paper can save enough energy to power the average American home for six months. This is because the production of recycled paper requires less energy compared to making paper from virgin materials.

3. Water conservation: The paper production process requires a large amount of water. By recycling paper, we can conserve water resources. The EPA states that recycling one ton of paper can save around 7,000 gallons of water. This is equivalent to the average household’s water usage for six months.

4. Landfill reduction: Paper waste takes up a significant amount of space in landfills. According to the American Forest & Paper Association, paper and paperboard products make up the largest portion of municipal solid waste in the United States. By recycling paper, we can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and extend their lifespan.

5. Economic benefits: Recycling paper also has economic advantages. The recycling industry creates jobs and contributes to the economy. According to the EPA, the recycling and reuse of paper and paperboard products in the United States generated over $9 billion in revenue in 2019.

6. Recycling rates: While paper recycling is beneficial, it’s important to note that not all paper is recycled. The EPA reports that the recycling rate for paper and paperboard products in the United States was around 66.2% in 2019. This means that there is still room for improvement in increasing recycling rates.

7. Office paper recycling: Recycling paper in the office is crucial for reducing waste. The EPA estimates that office paper makes up about 20% of total landfill waste. Implementing paper recycling programs in offices can significantly reduce this waste and promote sustainability.

Going Paperless is Better Than Recycling Paper Waste

In conclusion, recycling paper has numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits. By understanding the statistics and importance of paper recycling, we can all make a conscious effort to reduce waste and protect our planet. Let’s work together to increase paper recycling rates and create a more sustainable future.
