Erasable paper

Juniper Foo | Nov 30, 2006

Finally, someone's seeing the trees for the wood. Thanks to Xerox, the ideal paperless office may take a quantum leap closer to reality in the near future. The company has developed a method for prints to expire after a day. In short, the paper resets itself the next day, so you can reuse it. The idea was sparked by research revealing that about 40 percent of printed pages in offices are used for just a single viewing before being discarded. While the technology is still simmering in a petrie dish, we're rooting for this since it means killing fewer trees just to get our paper fix. Just think. Had Noah's generation depleted the trees for paper, there won't have been an Ark. (Images courtesy of Grieg Reekie)
