Computers have not created the Paperless office once talked about, and it is estimated that businesses throw away in the region of 5 million tonnes of paper every year. A recent study of the financial sector, it was found that 60% of the waste produced in company head offices was paper waste.
And although most paper comes from sustainable sources, manufacturing recycled paper uses as much as 70% less energy and fewer air polluting emissions.
Listed below are suppliers of recycled office stationery.
Please also instigate a recycling scheme in your office, see Waste Collection Companies for details of companies who will collect office waste for recycling. In the UK, 60% of waste ends up in land fill sites, when it rots it creates methane - a major factor in global warming. In other European countries the figures are much lower due to the considerable emphasis placed on recycling in society.
