Around 10,750 trees are being planted by SCA Timber as a result of Buildbase customers joining the merchant’s paperless invoicing scheme.

Buildbase managing director Stephen Thompstone said 150,000 invoices had already been sent out electronically to reduce waste. For each customer joining, 10 trees will be planted in the Buildbase Lifecycle Forest area at Ljusåsen.

Buildbase hopes to save around 300,000 documents a year.
