Five Benefits Of Reducing Paper Waste

Here you'll see five benefits of reducing paper waste in school:

1. Reducing waste and creating a sustainable future: there's no denying that going paperless helps to save the environment and reduce waste.
2. Reduce costs: The benefits of going paperless in schools reach beyond just saving time and the environment - going paperless also helps your school save money.
3. Better version control: How often have you wondered if you are working on the latest version of a document? In the world of paper, file shares and email can often be challenging as there is no built-in version control. Being able to go back in time to understand changes is also near impossible without manual versioning mechanisms.
4. Better knowledge management and search: How many times have you tried to find documents and information unsuccessfully? How easy is it to search for content in file share based document management systems? Document content and metadata can represent a significant part of our intellectual property and is a gold mine of information.
5. Over to you: At the end of the day, there are plenty of benefits of going paperless in schools, from saving time and money, to saving the environment and enhancing digital literacy. Using less paper (or even going entirely paperless) is a win-win for your students and teachers, as well as the wider school community, and the environment.
