Money Saving Tip: Reuse paper as scrap paper

The typical office environment will generate a substantial amount of paper waste. Whenever possible, reuse the back of paper that is printed on one side only. Create a tray marked “scrap paper” near office machines in which to store your reusable paper. Keep a stack of scrap paper next to your phone to jot down notes that you will probably end up throwing away. Other ways to keep printing costs low are to use smaller margins and font sizes so each page has as much information as possible, which will shorten lengthy documents.
