Scriptation has always been about sustainability through innovation, hence our commitment to pledging paperless; but we’ve often wondered how we can measure our user’s impact beyond simply cancelling those bulk paper orders (apologies, Dunder Mifflin).

While we never have access to individual user data, we do monitor overall metrics so that we’ve been able to calculate the collective environmental impact from the last year. Between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, Scriptation users have saved over 42,167,291 sheets of paper which is equivalent to saving over 3,780,000 pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere and conserving 4.5 million gallons of water! That’s like removing 400 gas cars from the road – as if you took around 40 writers’ rooms off the freeway! Great job!

After saving over 42 million sheets of paper since Earth Month 2024, we think we can save even more – and we want you to follow along with your fellow Scriptation users. That’s why we created the Scriptation Live Paper Savings Counter to count every page Scriptation saves from printing from April 1st, 2025 to March 31st, 2026.

We think we can save 50 million pages over that span (and shatter this year’s record)! Follow along as the days and saved pages add up, and we’ll update you on our status as the year progresses.

Want to know how much you’re saving? This Earth Month, we are excited to once again bring Scriptation users their Scriptation Impact Report – an individualized snapshot of your contribution to a more sustainable entertainment industry.

Your #ScriptationImpact report will look like this:

So, how did we get these numbers that you’re seeing on your report?

Scriptation introduced the Impact Report in 2024 with an update that logs some anonymous usage data. Think of it like a little ticker within Scriptation that tallies how much paper you are saving.

It’s important to note: this information is only stored locally (on your unique device) and cannot be accessed by anyone but you (not even by us here at Scriptation!).

To calculate your impact, Scriptation started tallying:

• The amount of time spent with Scriptation open as your active app. (This does not include time spent with Scriptation in the “background” on iPad or iPhone, but will include all time Scriptation is open on Mac.)
• The number of transfers that you’ve completed.
• The number of pages in each unique document imported into Scriptation or downloaded from a cloud provider.

And again, because this data is not attached to anything identifiable, if you use Scriptation across multiple devices, you will only be seeing the numbers relevant to your time in the app on that specific device.

To calculate your overall impact, you’ll have to do a little math and add up the numbers across each of your devices.

With this data, Scriptation utilizes the Environmental Paper Network‘s calculations to translate your time in Scriptation into real, sustainable savings.

One example: a ream of paper is 500 pages. According to the Environmental Paper Network’s Paper Calculator, those 500 pages are equivalent to:

• 44.9 pounds of CO2
• 53.5 gallons of water
• 2.9 pounds of waste

Scriptation then used the following calculations per sheet of paper to estimate each type of impact:

• 1 sheet of paper = .0898 lbs of CO2
• 1 sheet of paper = .107 gals of water
• 1 sheet of paper = .0058 lbs of waste

We then multiply your total number of pages opened in Scriptation by the numbers above to reach your environmental savings! If you have any fun ideas for next year’s report, drop us your thoughts on our future feature wishlist.

We can’t wait to see how much paper, water, and waste you’ve saved! Share your results on social media and get automatically entered into a drawing for an official Scriptation Earth Month Prize Pack!

Thank you again for using Scriptation: it’s making production more sustainable and best of all, helping the Earth.
