Going Paperless, Going Green, Be Smart 

Going paperless and going green is the new mantra for today’s businesses that want to attain efficiency and sustainability in their business process and procedures. The challenge is to reduce paper dependence and automate the working processes through a secure and legal mechanism.

Going Paperless is always difficult for any business to transform from its traditional model, and give itself a new shape. However, in this competitive era, businesses cannot afford to lack behind their peers, they need tools to stay in the race of moving towards greener business operations and sustainable strategy.

Therefore, the emergence of digitization has proved to be a savior for businesses these days. Efficient and affordable, digitization and electronic management systems are helping these businesses go paperless and green in a secure and legal manner.

It is impossible to go paperless totally. However, it can be minimized to make an environment-friendly work-station.

Logic Behind ThemeLooks’ Going Paperless and Going Green

Environmental Causes

The continuous progression of science paved the way for introducing tools that care for the environment and contribute to nature conservation. Today is the age of digitization and cloud storage. Piles of papers are now becoming the tradition of the past. Going paperless saves both time and money.

So, we don’t need to cut and replenish the asset of the forests. As computers were invented to make our lives easier and able to choose alternatives, ThemeLooks also came forward to utilize the facilities of digitization and go in alternative paths. 

For centuries, business organizations have been depending on paper documents. Today computers are in use in almost every medium and big business. Printers joined the computers printing out millions of papers each year. So, the use of paper is rising an average of 7 percent each year.

This huge use of paper creates massive paper-wastage of used paper and causes pollution. From research, it’s found that from 100 tonnes of paper, 1.5 tonnes of carbon-di-oxide is created, which causes an enormously detrimental effect on the environment. Besides, the paper-wastage is also a big reason for water pollution.

However, many business organizations are increasing their awareness and adopting the radical approach of converting information on paper into data as well as transforming physical documents into digital information.

ThemeLooks is not different; hence their mission also includes initiatives that result in environment conservation. 

Paper-Wastage causes huge soil, water, and air pollution

In addition to environmental benefits, there are some important material benefits also associated with going paperless-decision of ThemeLooks:

Business-efficiency Causes: 

1. Saving Cost

Using paper entails more cost that comes in the form of papers, printers, printing, cabinets for keeping files, etc. Handling and managing documents sometimes need extra manpower to do the tasks. 

Printed documents and faxes are generally expensive and a bit inconvenient. Storing these paper documents is time-consuming and they are not accessible if you are not in the office.

If you are going for digital documents, then you’ve to reduce the use of the additional office equipment that needs paper such as printers, faxes, and copiers. So, ThemeLooks want to reduce the use of paper and the machines that need paper as much as possible.

2. Reducing Time and Increasing Speed

Creating, preserving, and handling papers needs lots of time. If documents are preserved electronically or through cloud computing, then the management or employees can access them just by clicking and logging in and that can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Hence, they would be able to avoid carrying the bulk of documents.  With a view to reducing time and increasing efficiency, ThemeLooks decided to accomplish most of the tasks electronically. 

3. Minimizing the Use of Space

Maintaining and preserving paper documents needs some space. ThemeLooks wanted to maximize the use of office spaces by doing maximum tasks electronically. The spaces that are saved can be used for other purposes, too. 

4. Smart Office Management

To keep pace with the modern era, ThemeLooks do maximum task electronically and has chosen a digital alternative. They believe, doing digitally means inserting smartness into the work procedures of the organization.
