Freight Documents Are Killing Trees (And It’s Avoidable)

How Freight Paperwork Harms the Planet

Billions of waybills, invoices, and customs forms are printed every year in logistics. According to the World Economic Forum, over 150 billion logistics documents are generated annually — most printed, signed, and discarded within hours.

This not only creates inefficiency, but also has a major environmental cost. Paper production requires water, chemicals, and trees — all used for documents that could easily be digitized.

With RUSO, freight paperwork becomes part of the digital flow — auto-generated, shared instantly, and stored securely. No printing, no lost files, no paper waste.

Reducing waste while improving traceability

Digital documents speed up freight processes and support sustainability goals. RUSO cuts down on printing and scanning by handling all paperwork — from delivery slips to customs declarations — within the platform.

That means less waste, fewer delays, and better compliance with environmental standards across the supply chain.
