In every office there is someone who is obsessed with the latest tech and the one in ours predicts that our office is going to become a paperless office, an office that is conscious of the environment so doesn't use paper. At presently we cannot know if this prophecy will come true but any office can benefit from reducing their paper usage.

There are many reasons why a Borough of London modern office shout make paper cut backs, firstly the obvious eco-benefits, then the cost and also because paper is not always the safest way to keep private data protected.

So for companies moving to an office in Borough of London then here are some top tips to make it a paper-free and 21st century office, supplied by OfficeBroker.com.

1) Firstly, find out where the closer Borough of London recycling facility is. Now that you are based in Borough of London you need to know where all of the facilities are and which roads to take to get there from the office. You should also look into organising a collection service, as from your Borough of London office it may be quite far to the recycling facility.

2) Next, use emails ...
... rather than paper letters. Perhaps one of the most efficient ways to cut back on the amount of paper your office uses is to use computer based messaging instead of the traditional sending letters, fax machines and memos. By doing this you will reduce the outgoings of the office and make your staff a lot more productive as they won't have to travel through the over when delivering memos but instead 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, so there is no need to have paper copies. In fact, this particular use of paper is one of the most unnecessary and wasteful uses of paper that there is. 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. Also by opting for a digital copy via email you can then utilise those articles more easily in presentations and reports.

4) Replace post-its with an office white board. Office workers always have something remember so they make a note of it and usually this is on a yellow post-it but in a reduced paper office you might want to think about using a whiteboard and using that. This is because a whiteboard is reusable and is a good way to jot down reminders or make notes about an important project. As a result a whiteboard is a great way to cut back and minimise the sheets of paper that are used in your office. So if you have made the move to Borough serviced offices from OfficeBroker.com, then you should find a stationers in Borough of London and buy a white board.

5) Also remember that reducing paper usage doesn't just mean stop using A4 paper. It may also mean using an air hand-dryer in the toilet instead of paper towels and by replacing paper throw away cups with real and reusable mugs. There are lots of little ways that you can cut back on paper usage, it could just be something as easy as putting a paper bin in the corner of the office.

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.
