At “News,” we think that information can make a difference. This page is all about showing off the most recent progress, new ideas, and successes in making ecological books, both at our company and in the industry as a whole. We want everyone in our community, from writers and publishers to readers and environmentalists, to know how things are going toward a more environmentally responsible literary future. Watch for news that shows how committed we are to doing things the correct way.
New technology and materials are always coming out in the realm of sustainable book manufacturing. This part shows you the newest ideas in sustainable innovation. We routinely write about new eco-friendly materials, such the most recent generations of certified by the FSC papers which have very little of an impact on the environment, and the making of paper from other fibers, like agricultural waste. We also discuss about huge leaps forward in printing technology that is better for the environment, like better LED-UV curing systems and waterless printing that use less energy and release fewer VOCs.
It takes a group to make ecological books. We celebrate the triumphs of our partners and peers here, which helps us all learn from each other. We highlight success stories from our ecologically friendly partners, like paper suppliers who have gotten new environmental certifications and printers who have started using new energy-saving methods. These spotlights show how working together along the supply chain may have a big impact on the environment, encouraging others to do the same. “News” also includes updates on new environmental rules and industry standards for green labeling, as well as policy changes and advocacy actions that affect ecological publishing.
The organization gives frequent updates on its journey toward sustainability, pointing out both the milestones it has reached. The continued work it is making toward long-term environmental goals. These updates demonstrate the real actions being made to lessen the impact on the environment, such using less carbon, making energy use more efficient, more renewable energy. Each step forward shows a strong commitment to being environmentally responsible and a desire to keep becoming better.
In addition to talking about our individual progress, our “News” section also talks about the wider activities we do to aid the community and the environment. We give money to forestry initiatives, collaborate with schools to build up educational programs, and partner with local groups to spread the word about environmental issues.
The “News” area is where you can find out about the latest developments in the field of sustainable bookmaking. We want to enlighten and engage through inspiring partnerships, and open reporting. We think that communities that know what’s going on can make real changes. We can all work together to make eco-friendly publishing better in the future. Every tale we tell should help make the world a better place to live.
Set the standard for sustainable publishing.
