In my office I've got a techie who's obsessed with his iPod and he always says in a few years we'll work in a paperless office, an office that is aware of the impact we are having on the environment. At presently we cannot know if this prophecy will come true but most offices can cut back on paper and reap the many rewards it can offer.

There are many reasons why a Covent Garden modern office shout make paper cut backs, for one the blatant environmental benefits, then the amount of money you can save and also because low-tech paper is not the safest way to keep confidential information protected.

So for a company that is making the move to a new Covent Garden office then here are some tips to make that office a paper-free and 21st century office, supplied by 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 which roads to take to get there from the office. You should also look into organising a collection service, as ...
... depending on where in Covent Garden you are based it might be quite a distance to the facility.

2) Next, use emails rather than paper letters. Perhaps the best way to reduce the amount of paper your office uses is to use IT based messaging to to connect with other staff instead of sending letters or memos. By using this technique you will be able to reduce the money spend in the office and make employees a lot more efficient and productive as they will no longer have to travel to office when passing a memo or letter but rather they can just click the button to send that email.

3) The daily papers, magazines and journals and marketing materials can all be received electronically, so there is no need to have paper copies. This is the case as this use of paper is one of the most wasteful and inefficient uses of paper that there is. What I mean by this is that 99 percent of the time papers and magazines just end up in the trash, so it is just as if you are buying paper then throwing your money in the bin. Also by opting for a digital copy via email you can then make use of any article more easily than if you had a hard copy of them.

4) Eliminate the need for post-its with an office white board. Your workers all need somewhere to make the odd note and more often than not this is on a post-it note but in the paperless office you may want to use a white board instead. A whiteboard can be used and reused many times and is a good way to brainstorm with your workers and flesh out some of their ideas. As a result a whiteboard can be a great way to reduce the use of paper in the office. So if you have made the move to a Covent Garden office from OfficeSpaceFinders.com, then you should find a stationers in Covent Garden and buy a white board.

5) Finally, reducing paper isn't just about A4 consumption it applies to so much. It also means using an electric heater to dry your hands rather than paper towels and by using ceramic cups instead of disposable paper cups. There is an endless list of things to do to reduce the consumption of paper, it could even be as simple as putting up posters give your staff advice on how to save paper.

Not too long ago one of the firms I deal with on a regular basis relocated to a Covent Garden office and they used the office relocation as a way to implement new recycling and paper usage guidelines. In the end the company saved quite a lot of money as their staff really got behind the initiative and supporting the new guidelines.
