ECOLOGICAL MANUFACTURING

To print the book, we will only use noble materials and paper from sustainably managed forests in accordance with FSC and PEFC standards, in order to limit its footprint on the environment.

The paper

The papers selected, Arctic Volume White 130g and Munken Polar Rough 250g, come from the Swedish paper manufacturer Arctic Paper, which has been working for many years to reduce its carbon footprint. This paper mill is one of the most ecological in the world.

In addition to low water consumption, it has some of the lowest effluent figures in the industry. The production of one kilogram of this paper requires only 3 liters of water, compared to 16 liters consumed elsewhere, and the water discharged into the fjord is virtually free of foreign matter.

Printing

The printing and finishing of the book will be done on the same site, in France. The printer uses water-based inks. With this technology it deposits three times less ink on the paper than traditional offset technologies and without any chemical rejection. This technique also uses less paper (less waste). Finally, the unitary film that protects the book will be organic: 100% recyclable and composed of 52% bio-sourced polymers.
