    Trees: reduce office and manufacturing paper consumption (kg per employee) by at least 10% per year



Use of recycled paper has risen from about 50% in 1994 to over 98% in 2000. We have reduced the use of paper per employee by 37% from 1997-2000.


PAPER



We produce thousands of different products, each with complex specifications that are documented in detailed technical manuals, datasheets and user notes. We use significant amounts of paper in publications, printouts, photocopies, office forms and clean-room paper (lint free).
