The concept of the paperless office is laughable in early 2005. The fact is, according to a global survey by the University of California, paper use increased by more than 10 in 2004, to the equivalent of 63 trillion sheets of A4 paper. More than 80 of the paper was used to create office documents. Much of this was in emails as staff ran off hard copies of important information. Rather than create a paperless office, the internet has spawned more paper use. All of the studied opinion is that growth in paper usage has by no means peaked.
