Abstract

The objective of this research was to establish the relationships of innovation in communications and information technologies as well as the evolution of mobile formats with the creation of proposals that are presented as ecological alternatives to the use of paper, through the literature review and experiences around the world that support the paperless initiative as an alternative to sustainable development and environmental balance by reducing paper consumption through migration to the use of digital files in offices and workplaces with large volume of paper consumption. Cases such as Axtel in Mexico and the proposals at MIT with the creation of digital inks, serve as support of innovations according to the environment. The need to go beyond the efforts that have been initiated in Latin America to create a culture of recycling and encourage people to use the technologies developed for the replacement of paper as a method of reducing environmental exploitation are important findings of this research.
