This involves regular spending on paper, ink, and the upkeep of office equipment. A paperless office eliminates these costs immediately.\n\nThis also includes the costs of space required to store paper documents and the filing cabinets they\u2019re stored in.

Thin clients provide a similar user experience to PCs, but consume only a fraction of the energy.<\/p><p>A thin client is a more compact piece of computing technology that accesses data remotely through a connection to a server and brings a virtual desktop to the user. Sure, there was a time when these \u201cdummy terminals\u201d lagged far behind a traditional PC in terms of utility and functionality, but they have since evolved to be very competitive in terms of both usability and price.<\/p><p>These days, thin-client terminals have much better energy e\ufb03ciency than traditional thick clients. They consume anywhere from 6 to 50 watts, far less than the 150 to 350 watts used by typical PCs, and this reduced power also decreases CO2 emissions.<\/p><p>In addition, because there is no hard drive and a limited microprocessor and memory requirements, sp there is less ecologically damaging waste. And with limited components, the price per thin client ends up being much less.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-013aa62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"013aa62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">8).

This is why Energy Star concluded that fax machines are at the top of the list when it comes to energy consuming office equipment.<\/p><p>Carbon dioxide is created by an electrical connection. A single fax machine can consume around 321 kilowatt a year which annually emits almost 200 kg of CO2. Combine all of the fax machines in Europe and we\u2019re looking at millions of kgs per year.<\/p><p>Then there is the issue of trees. A single half box of paper equals the destruction of a 15 year-old tree. Then there is the massive use of ink cartridges, which take 450 years to decompose in landfills. Not a pretty picture.<\/p><p>Fortunately, there is an extremely simple solution: Cloud faxing. Faxing through the Internet allows users to receive incoming faxes on a laptop, tablet or smartphone\u2014from anywhere. This not only provides total mobility with faxing, it also enables users to choose which messages actually require paper copies. This will lead to a significant reduction in paper, ink and toner usage. Faxing through the web reduces paper consumption, electricity, as well as ink\/toner.<\/p><p>For these reasons, many companies are already unplugging their fax machines and turning to Cloud fax services.
