We want to go beyond just printing words on paper when it comes to making books in an environmentally friendly way. We want to imagine and actively develop a future where making knowledge goes hand in hand with taking care of the environment. We think the publishing sector has a huge responsibility and a great chance to set an example in a society that is becoming more aware of its environmental impact. At “Vision,” we want to be the first to use environmentally friendly methods that not only cause less harm to the globe but also help it heal, so that people can keep enjoying reading for centuries to come. We also want to promote greener industries all across the world.
Our idea for making books in an environmentally friendly way covers every part of the book’s journey. We actively look for and use the latest eco-friendly materials, such as agricultural waste papers, bindings that break down completely, and inks made from plants that don’t release any VOCs. Our Vision also stresses regenerative production methods and putting a lot of money into facilities that are powered only by renewable energy sources like solar panels. We want closed-loop systems that use as little water as possible, recycle all process water, and make logistics as efficient as possible to cut down on transportation emissions. This will greatly reduce the amount of resources used and pollution.
Our goal is not just to use new technology; we want to build a strong culture of caring for the environment throughout the whole publishing sector. We imagine a future where everyone operates one another to make the world more sustainable, and we encourage and teach our suppliers to do the same. We want consumers to be able to easily see and understand how a book affects the environment. For instance, QR codes may take readers to extensive information about a book’s materials and carbon footprint. This would help them make better choices and feel more engaged to the book’s journey to being more environmentally friendly.
Advocacy and Being the Leader in the IndustryOne of our goals is to become a leading advocate for sustainable development in the publishing industry around the world. We want to impart what we’ve learned, our best customs, and our new ideas with other businesses through forums, open-source initiatives, and collaborations. We wish to help make the world a better place by making book production more environmentally friendly. We do this by pressing for stronger standards for the environment, taking part in discussions about policy, and partnering with environmental groups. We aim to convey that caring for the environment is not a cost, but an investment in the future of our planet and the eternal legacy of books.
Our goal is enormous but doable: to transform the way ecological books are manufactured so that they can be used as examples of sustainability in all areas. We do this by always coming up with new materials and techniques and promoting a culture of openness and advocacy. It’s a vision where people think about the environment and do something about it in order to make sure that the sections we turn today make the world a better place for future generations.
