Make Use of Recycled Paper

For people who need to make countless reports, paper usage is bound to be a problem if you are not that keen on making frequent revision to your work. While the company can spend a lot on bond paper or letterhead printed documents, if you are haven’t fully edited your memo or circular, print it out on a used paper which you are sure to have a lot of.
People will always tell you to read it multiple times before you print the final draft. That is why computers have screens which supposedly make it easier to edit. But for some, there is always some mistakes once the final copy is printed. This cannot be avoided and while many try as hard, reading the hard copy of the paper shows out the errors to many people’s surprise.
As far as scratch or recycled paper is concerned, offices are sure to have a lot of them. One error in printing normally becomes paper that can still be used for recycling. Actually this is a practice that is encouraged in most offices before making the final draft. You will be surprised at the savings a company can have should this practice be used, especially if people prefer to read the hard printed copy up close.
But as much as possible, try to go through your composition before printing it. That will always be the best option considering you should also consider the toner and ink cartridge you are using. One click can waste a lot of paper and ink and surely that is not a good way to conserve your office materials.
For some offices it is understandable that errors will suffice. One’s view may not necessarily be the same as the other and that is why most people would rather have another person read it. If that is the case, then use scratch paper before giving the document to your boss. It can save a lot to avoid paper waste.
