How The Paperless Office Might Happen

You probably don’t need to look any further than your own desk to realise that the oft-discussed vision of a paperless office hasn’t happened yet. This infographic highlights survey results that suggest we might be getting closer to that vision.

Three key factors make using less paper more likely: well-accepted document standards, the popularity of remote working, and the use of cloud-based services. The decline of print media also means less paper to recycle in that department (there was a time when newspaper was my biggest recycling challenge; these days, it seems to be bottles and tins). The survey data was collected by Nitro PDF, who produce Lifehacker’s favourite free PDF reading software.
