Can you imagine working without paper?

And beyond that, can you image not using paper … at all?!

There are companies nowadays that have made running a “paperless” office one of their corporate goals, as they try to be more attuned to the environmental issues that the world is facing.

That is all good and the environment is certainly a key concern for us at Kall Kwik.

It is also true for us that, as a local printing company, this cannot happen!

But, we cannot help but wonder … is going paperless in offices across the country really possible?

  

A paperless work environment will certainly be neat:

• There will be no post-its on monitors or notebooks piled in the corners.
• It will also be quiet as there will be no sounds produced by printers and fax machines
• The rubbish bins will also be rather empty!

  

It is virtually impossible to imagine an entire day going by without having to use paper.

There is likely to be correspondence that needs to be dealt with.

Research papers will also need to be printed out to be studied in more detail.

Maybe “paperless” is a utopia that can never be achieved.

But what is more achievable is the use of “less paper” by exercising prudence and a sense of responsibility.

It is still a great idea to push through with the basic steps towards a paper-less office, such as working more with electronic forms as opposed to paper-based forms … But, in truth, completely shunning paper still seems far off.

What do others feel ..?
