Now that I have your attention, this Green Tip of the Week is simple… reuse your printer paper. Paper has two sides - use them. I ran into a company recently that has found ways to mitigate their printer/fax paper waste - ConsultOne, LLC. ConsultOne is a healthcare related company, that reviews documentation submitted to insurance companies. You would think that such a company would generate large amounts of paper waste, but they don’t. Here is how they conserve…
Here are 4 ways ConsultOne conserves paper:
Paper-Free Faxing - ConsultOne uses software that allows them to send and recieve faxes without using any paper. These programs convert incoming faxes into attachements to an email. You can view them, save them, forward them as an email, or send to a fax number from your computer — no printing needed.
Printer Paper - Paper has TWO sides. ConsultOne figured this, little known fact, out. Prior to paper being sent to the shredder (more on that next) the paper is simple turned upside-down (”FLIP IT”…get it?) and placed back into the printer. When asked why, Heather stated: ” I wish I could tell you that it was environmentally motivated, but the reality is, it cuts costs”. Whatever the motivation, what a simple way to conserve.
Paper Shredder - After each paper has been “dual-printed” (made that phrase up and am sure it will be a Twitter buzz-word soon) it gets shredded and repurposed. The paper is bundled up and sent to a local shredding company that in-turn creates decorative recycle paper.
Buy Recycled Paper - To complete the circle, ConsultOne buy recycled printer paper.
