ExpressDox Green Solution
Although paper has been around for at least 2,000 years, the rise of wood-based industrial papermaking in the mid-19th century changed the world with a nearly unprecedented power. Today, U.S. per capita paper consumption is estimated at over 700 pounds. The global paper industry is one of the world’s largest users of energy and fresh water, and wields considerable impacts on ecosystems, including the consumption of as much as 40 percent of all wood harvested, and the release of persistent, carcinogenic chemicals that are the byproducts of the bleaching and delignification processes. The use of post-consumer and non-wood fibers should be a top priority for anyone interested in reducing the impacts of paper production.
According to Business Week in 2007 US companies printed 1.5 trillion pages, or the equivalent of 15-20 million trees. RISI analyst John Mayne estimates that companies will spend about $8 billion this year on paper alone. That doesn’t include costs for ink, toner, or running copiers, printers and fax machines. In the typical office, for every dollar spent on printing documents, companies incur six dollars on handling and distribution.
Today, ExpressDox offers a comprehensive ‘Green Choice’ for all Enterprises. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), whereby organizations take into consideration the interest of society by taking responsibility for the impact their activities and processes have on the environment, has gained awareness over the past few years and will continue to be an integral part of overall strategy for all companies in the future. For example, the overall Real Estate/Mortgage Industry is paper-intensive and by migrating processes to an electronic environment organizations can not only save time and money but can gain the deserved recognition from their peers, community and employees. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) suggests that for every mortgage we kill a tree. ExpressDox has teamed with American Forestry to heighten the awareness with a joint ‘Save/Plant a Tree’ campaign. According to extensive research some of the more pertinent facts include:
