Due to the UNESCO World Book and Copyright Day the 23rd of April, Arctic Paper encourages publishers, printers and authors to choose FSC certified paper*. Today it’s becoming more and more obvious that every action that contributes to a positive impact on the environment is important. The book and paper area is no different. The consumption and reading of books continues to be on a high level, this makes it important for everyone in the production chain to make environmental friendly choices.

Today, the environmental debate is strong and the awareness about the climate of our earth is growing. Therefore, it’s important to consider what actions contribute to a more environmental friendly book production. Throughout the history, books have been the most powerful and efficient means to spread and establish knowledge.

When now celebrating the World Book and Copyright day April 23rd , Arctic Paper would like to inspire to active environmental actions and to choose FSC certified paper when developing and producing books.

2007 year’s winner of the Nobel Literature Prize, Doris Lessing, and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore, are published on FSC certified paper from Arctic Paper. Arctic Paper was the first fine paper company in the world to offer a full range of FSC certified fine paper through the uncoated book and design paper Munken, on which Doris Lessing is published. Al Gorés “An Inconvenient Truth” is printed on the coated paper Arctic Volume.

Arctic Paper has a long experience and knowledge about environmental issues linked to the production of paper. Using FSC certified paper in books and other printed materials is an environmental action. It is one way to care about the environment and still using high quality paper.

*FSC is an independent environmental organisation that identifies well-managed forests as approved sources of forest products. The FSC aims to promote environmentally sound, conscious and financially viable use of the world’s forest resources. This means that wood used to produce paper must come from a forest managed in line with a strict environmental, social and economic standard.
