The Zero-Paper Objective: a Sustainable Development Vision

Besides concern for the high levels of paper consumption (8.8 million tonnes a year in France), rationalisation of document management has long been a business issue for companies.

But the zero-paper trend should not become an aim in itself. It needs to be part of an overall document management policy.

Letters, invoices, contracts and standard work practices necessarily require the use of a material support. The real issue is actually not zero-paper, but zero-waste.

Digital and paper formats need to coexist.

In this sense, the photocopier becomes an essential tool in the whole document management process.

Inasmuch as it offers digitalisation functions (such as Scan, or Scan to mail), the multifunction photocopier has its part to play in the document dematerialisation process.

For example, a photocopier can digitalise your documents in two-sided, single-pass mode, or send them to your colleagues’ email addresses.

Electronic Document Management (EDM) solutions developed by the leading producers of photocopiers (such as Ricoh, Toshiba, or Canon) allow you to optimise the dematerialisation of your documents.

CM Solutions offers you multifunction printing solutions which meet these new environmental challenges. With its great choice in terms of brands and models, CM Solutions is a reliable partner, supporting you in your efforts towards zero paper waste.
