Behind Simon & Schuster’s New ‘Green’ Initiative
Simon & Schuster executives talk about launching an environmental policy that outlines companywide goals, including increasing the use of recycled fiber by 150 percent.
For its books printed and bound in the United States, Simon & Schuster plans to increase from its current 10 percent to 25 percent or more the level of recycled fiber in its purchased paper by 2012, representing a 150-percent increase. This increase will save about 483,000 trees annually and reduce nearly 85 million pounds in greenhouse gases, notes the company. Simon & Schuster purchases about 70,000 tons of paper annually.
