The Paperless Campaign

In South Korea, the average annual paper consumption per person is approximately 190kg. Compared to the global average of 60kg per person, this is a significant amount.

Paperless refers to creating a work environment that minimizes paper usage by utilizing electronic documents. According to the Korea Internet & Security Agency, by 2023, the electronic document market is expected to generate a market value of around 1.6 billion USD, and businesses using electronic documents can anticipate economic cost savings of approximately 0.8 billion USD. Many offices have already adopted paper-saving practices by utilizing electronic contracts and approvals.
