For some time now IT experts have been saying that we are on the verge of the paperless office, an eco-aware office that doesn't even use paper for post-it notes. At present we don't know if this is going to come true but any office can benefit from cutting back on how much paper they use.

There are many reasons why a Covent Garden modern office shout make paper cut backs,A few tips to turn your Covent Garden office into a paperless and an eco-friendly office Articles for one the blatant environmental benefits, then the amount of money you can save and also because paper is perhaps not the most secure way to store private and confidential data.So if you are considering relocating to offices in Covent Garden then here are some top tips to make that office a modern, 21st century, paper-free office; supplied by www.OfficeSpaceFinders.com.1) Firstly, determine where in Covent Garden is your closest recycling facility or service. You need to know where the facility is and how to get there from your Covent Garden office. It will also be of benefits to arrange a collection service, as from your Covent Garden office it may be quite far to the recycling facility.2) Secondly, you should use electronic messaging rather than paper letters. The move effective and easy to implement ways to reduce paper usage in the office is to use electronic messaging rather than memos, fax machines and sending letters. By using this technique you will be able to reduce the money spend in the office and you will also make employees a lot more efficient as they will not longer have to travel through the office when passing a memo or letter but rather they can just click a button to send an email.3) Journals, marketing materials and even the local daily paper can all be read on the internet, which means there is no longer a need for a paper copy. This is the case as this use of paper is perhaps the most inefficient use of paper that there has ever been. This is the case as 90 percent of the time papers and magazines just end up in the bin anyway, so if that happens then you are just throwing money in the bin. And if you opt for the greener option of an electronic deliver you can utilise the content of journals in a report or presentation more easily than if you had a paper copy.4) Perhaps you could try an office white board instead of post-its. Office workers always have something remember so they make a note of it and usually this is on a post-it note that is lying around on the desk but in a modern office a few whiteboards would be a much better option. This is the case as it is reusable and is really good way to make handy notes or jot down business ideas or reminders. All of this means that by using a whiteboard you will be able to reduce the amount of paper that is used in the office. So if you have just taken a Covent Garden officefrom www.OfficeSpaceFinders.com, then you should go to the nearest shop and buy a whiteboard.5) Also remember that reducing paper usage doesn't just mean stop using A4 paper. It also means using an electric heater to dry your hands rather than paper towels and by using mugs instead of those paper cups that just get thrown in the bin. There is an endless list of things to do to reduce the consumption of paper, it could just be something as easy as making a corner of the office the official place for the waste paper bin.Just a few months ago one of the companies I work with relocated to a Covent Garden office and they made the most of the upheaval by using it as an opportunity to instil change paper usage habits. When everyone settled into the new procedures the managers found that they were making a substantial saving and also minimising their effect on the environment.
