Anacomp Helps Customers "Go Green"

 

For 40 years, Anacomp has partnered with its customers to help them unlock the full potential of their business processes at the lowest total cost of ownership. It turns out an added bonus of the ability to decrease costs, streamline operations and reduce reliance on cumbersome paper processes is the capacity for our customers to conserve energy and natural resources.
 
For example:

By scanning and hosting documents on our online repository, docHarbor Online, our customers eliminate the need to pass paper back and forth to each other and make lots of copies in order to process and approve them. (PWC claims the average office makes 19 copies of every document!)

Some Anacomp customers use docHarbor Online to store their “green bar” print stream reports (e.g. bank statements) so they don’t need to print them for review. By leveraging our systems, they use less equipment themselves and use less energy.

Customers of our litigation support solution, CaseLogistix, reduce the need to print, Bates stamp, copy, scan and process the large amount of documents typically required as part of the discovery process.

Think Before You Print

According to Time Magazine, the United States alone uses enough paper each year to build a 10-foot-high wall that’s 6,815 miles long, or two and a half times the distance from New York to Los Angeles!

A midsized company with 1,000 employees and $100 million in revenue will produce 30 million pages of paper annually, which equates to cutting down 1,369 trees and producing approximately 300,000 pounds of CO2.

Large companies use an estimated 400 billion pages of printer paper a year – that’s 18,253,333 trees converted to paper, generating four billion pounds of carbon.

To make up for the loss of trees in the past decade, we would need to plant 500,000 square miles of trees—an area as large as Peru.

On average, we use two times more paper today than we did in 1980, due to ever-growing amounts of available information. With the estimated 97 billion emails whisking through cyberspace every day comes the temptation to print them.

Reducing Paper With Anacomp

Automating business processes to reduce paper usage will empower employees to be more efficient; use less energy and simply get more done with less. Anacomp’s solutions can easily reduce paper and automate your workflows. DocHarbor Online, for example, offers an on-demand interface where documentation can be stored and retrieved instantly and at multiple locations. Rather than generating multiple photocopies and having file cabinets take up space, users can instantly reduce the amount of paper they use. 
 
Your business can have the power to access any document, at any location or approve the payment of an invoice at anytime – and at the same time, help the environment.
