Forest Sourcing
Where is the paper and board from a book manufactured? How well is the mill managing its environmental impacts? What tree fibres do they contain and where were those trees harvested? Are the forests well-managed and sustained for the future?
Chemicals & Materials
Are restricted chemicals used in the inks, adhesives or varnishes during printing? Are materials, like plastic, used appropriately in the book and along the supply chain? How can I better design my books for circularity and sustainability?
Labour & Environment
Where are the books printed? Are the people working there safe, and are they being treated fairly and respectfully? How well is the printer managing its environmental impacts?
Are you a book publisher, printer, or paper maker?
