Erasable paper created

[Lite]

A DAY at the office really could mean ploughing through the same old paperwork.

A team of experts from the same company that gave us the laser printer and the computer mouse is making another major change to the workplace with reusable paper which erases itself after 24 hours so it can be used again. The sheets are coated with special chemicals which turn white on their own or by being run through a special printer, meaning text will disappear and allow the paper to be used again.

Designers at Xerox believe that their reusable paper could save the world's offices at least seven trillion pages a year which would otherwise be printed once and then thrown away. There is one drawback: it is not capable of erasing pen doodles or unfolding paper aeroplanes.

The technology has been welcomed by conservationists who hope that it will lead to less paper being used in offices. The average office worker currently uses 10,000 sheets of paper a year, worth about £70.

would be gross if they used the same process done to make those pink/blue erasers as the rubber does nothing......the veggie oil is the real stuff doing the work.....

so yea hopefully they aren't using that to get the job done
