You are probably thinking, "What is this all about? My company doesn't spend much on paper." But what most people don't realise is that the cost of buying paper is just the tip of the paper iceberg.

Few facts

• The average Australian office worker uses 10,000 sheets of copy paper each year.
• Printing and writing paper only equals about one-half of total Australian paper consumption.
• Over 40% of wood pulp goes toward the production of paper.
• The costs of using paper in the office can run 13 to 31 times the cost of purchasing the paper in the first place!
