·         Think twice before taking a print. Enable print on both sides option of your printer. Try using other side of printed waste papers for writing notes.

·         Recycle the used papers. Keep a recycle tray next to printers and encourage people to deposit their waste papers in it.

·         Reduce your printer’s margin and spacing settings so that it uses less paper.

·         Reduce tissue paper consumption in rest rooms. Provide air dryers and reusable towels as an alternative.

·         Purchase paper with high percentage of recycled materials. Also prefer buying chlorine-free paper products.

·         Sign up for paperless bills and bank reports. E-bills and E-statements can cut down considerable amount of paper consumption.

·         Subscribe to digital magazines and online newsletters rather than physical editions. This also saves the postage cost.

·         Reduce paper waste by preventing uncollected printouts. Use your printer’s “Enhanced Locked Print” feature where a document has to be unlocked by user at the device for printing through code insertion or card swipe.

·         Encourage viewing documents on computers and mobile devices. At possible situations, send documents electronically.

·         Buy food materials packed in recyclable containers rather than cardboard boxes. This offers health as well as ecological benefits.

·         Don’t throw away your household’s waste papers in garbage. Instead sell them in a waste paper mart to earn some money as well as aiding to recycle them.
