The Guide to Tree-free Recycled and Certified Papers

While it is fairly well-known that wood-based paper is largely a 20th Century phenomenon, and that the impacts of paper production and over-consumption are taking a devastating toll on forests worldwide, there remains a true void of information on environmentally preferable paper options.

The Guide to Tree-free Recycled and Certified Papers - the first volume in the Wood Reduction trilogy - is such a book. Designed specifically for professionals (graphic designers, procurement specialists, print production managers, and others) this practical volume lays out the case against wood-based paper, and offers a practical resource of the best high-post-consumer content recycled and non-wood content papers. Artfully designed, easy to read, this book's most impressive element might be its swatch section, where users have handy reference to 17 different leading environmental stocks.
