As is it is difficult to change people´s habits, make it compulsory to recycle paper and for employees to print on both sides of the sheet. Also try and discourage paper use and try and create a paper free office, the office will look a lot tidier too. Many paper using products such as Fax Machines are not necessary as now it is very easy to receive and send a fax through your computer.

Try and discourage having lots of paper for employees to use at will as they will no doubt use it for unnecessary reasons.
