I remember a HP salesman telling me filing cabinet sales went through the roof as laser printers became more popular, he said the paperless office was as likely as the paperless toilet.

However I think that has turned around in recent years, worldwide paper production volumes are decreasing.

That may be true of regular paper and/or the overall production of paper products, but with all the increased retail shipping I would be very surprised if it's true of cardboard.

The paperless toilet is the norm in some places, you know.
