With increasing concerns throughout the world regarding pollution, and the consumption of non-renewable resources, reducing the amount of paper usage is at the forefront of many activist campaigns and multi-national corporations’ agendas.

One tree is able to produce 80,500 sheets of paper. That much paper, although huge to the average person, is dwarfed in comparison to what the world requires. An astonishing 786 million trees are needed to meet the world’s paper demand for one year.  Of that, 1/3  is consumed in North America, resulting in 5 million tons of paper waste ending up in landfills every year. The harm in massive dumping of paper and paper products is that they emit methane gas while decomposing, a very potent greenhouse gas. With such drastic numbers, more companies are regarding recycling as an attractive option.

The reality is that corporations use massive amounts of paper in order to track policies, work instructions, and SOP’s.  So aside from recycling, what else can an organization do to cut down on paper consumption and minimize their operating costs? They can work toward creating a paperless business solution. The Intelex Document Control System is a web-based application that enables organizations to streamline the control, routing and revision management of critical documentation and records. The system leverages a database driven engine to facilitate the creation, approval, storage, control, update and distribution of documents, records, lists and inventories. The system is also designed to meet document control standards defined in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Becoming sustainable, environmentally sound, and reducing operating costs are targets every corporation seeks to achieve. To learn how Intelex can help your organization achieve these goals feel free to visit our website and submit a request for more information.
