When you compare the 21st and the 20th century, we do a lot of things differently now than we did back in the day. From the status of women to the advancement of technology, we certainly have come a long way in the last hundred years.
It’s no different when it comes to saving the environment. In fact, I think that’s the hottest topic in the world right now. There are various environmental issues currently, including pollution, overpopulation, waste disposal, climate change, global warming and rising greenhouse gasses.
This is why not recycling paper is almost considered to be a crime.
At MAVDigital, we believe saving the environment can be done easily. Let’s start with the basics – using recycling paper for your day-to-day activities.
The world uses an incomprehensible 65 billion sheets of paper each day. According to research conducted by Kyocera, the average office worker in the UK uses up to 45 pieces of paper daily, and a staggering two-thirds of that is considered waste.
Now, that is a lot of paper.
If we are using that much paper in a day, why not consider using recycled paper? Not only is it the greenest option, but it also uses less energy and water. It also produces lower carbon emissions than the manufacturing of non-recycled paper and reduces the amount of waste to landfill.
So, what are the other benefits of using recycled paper?
- It’s great for branding.
Eco-consciousness is a hot topic right now and it’s great to showcase your brand as showing up for these issues. Let’s not forget the bragging rights – you’re showing you’re truly green. You’re saving trees, after all!
- Communication is key.
Utilising recycled paper in your business communications is a great way to uphold your brand values and communicate this to customers, prospects and partners. You can take it one step further and put a footer on your printing materials and show that you’re doing your part. The list goes on and on. There’s so much value in using recycled paper and, at MAVDigital, we’re championing it! If you have any questions about our use of recycled paper or would like to hear about our services, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Happy printing!
