Paper

The total amount of paper consumed in 2022-23 is 20,338 reams. Compared to last year, the total amount of paper used is 870 reams more, showing a 4.47% increase. Compared to the base year (2014-15), the total amount of paper used is 18982 reams less, indicating a 48.28% decrease. Meanwhile, the total annual paper usage equated to 0.96 reams per person in 2022-23 or a slight 1.3% increase per capita compared to 2021-22. It is notable that the quantity of recycled paper used counted for 22% of total paper consumption. It was encouraging to see that many departments and offices switched to recycled paper; however, we will continue to work on minimizing the paper use for printing, and when paper is necessary, to use recycled content.
