Some Green Facts...
With EIPP you can make significant environmental savings by eliminating paper and replacing the wasteful ‘print- deliver- archive-dispose’ invoice cycle with a faster, greener process. It is estimated that just one paper invoice leaves a 100g carbon footprint. Therefore an average company sending out 12,000 invoices per month could annually save:
14.4 tonnes1of carbon
57.6 trees2
180,000 litres of water3
1872 kg of solid waste3
