Not Paperless. Paper Conscious
At American Micro, we’ve been fans of using less paper for over 50 years. For much of that time we have been extolling the virtues of a paperless office for economic, security and efficiency reasons. Now, are equally supportive of any effort to reduce paper for the environment.
Did you know that American business still relies on paper and uses nearly 4 trillion paper documents each year? And even in this era of digital documents, the rate of paper usage is still growing 22% per year.
Consider that the average paper document is copied 19 times. Imagine how much you can reduce paper by simply incorporating a digital document system into your workflow.
But beyond simply reducing paper copies, consider how new software systems like FileBound, and a change in workflow procedures can impact the origin of documents. And when its time to dispose of paper, using proper shredding and disposal systems will ensure that documents are recycled, safely.
At American Micro we are still in search of a paperless office. Although we don’t foresee a truly paperless economy, we remain paper conscious and will do all we can to be environmentally responsible citizens.
 American Micro is proud to support the Greater Kansas City Chamber’s Climate Protection Partnership.
