International Paper Free Day

Автор: 23.10.2014 | world
«Let’s learn how to use paper efficiently!» —it is the key thesis of international «paper free» campaign which occurs on every fourth Thursday of October all over the world.

This day leading companies in different scopes of economics unite so as to share private experience of reduction of non-efficient waste of paper and arrange own promotional offers of support. The aim of International Paper Free Day is to show, using relevant examples, how and with the help of which technologies each organization can make a contribution into storage of natural resources.

The uniqueness of promotion campaign is kept in the fact that it delivers benefits not only to nature but also to business. Usage of technologies of electronic documents circulation, optimization of commercial processes in companies allow to reduce printing-and-postage expenses rapidly in organizations.

All in the same breath, according to information of Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), saving and recycling of a ton of paper gives a chance to «save» 17 trees, 26000 liters of water, 3 cubic meters of ground, 240 liters of fuel, and 4000 kW/h electricity.

However, the trend of international usage of paper makes a testimonial that we need collective measures on drawing attention to this problem. For the recent 20 years, the waste of paper has increased approximately by 26%.

International Paper Free Day is an excellent reason to share experience of electronic data interchanges and tell others how to make everyday strong contribution into protection of ecology with the benefit for business and life.

In order to support International Paper Free Day, companies may say about their evidence to partners, clients, employers through own informational resources, mass media, and official group of Free Paper Day in social media. Any person may promote the stated activity giving his/her own example through social communication medium with the help of hashtag #PaperFreeDay.
