The Top 30 Book Manufacturers
Liess: Our customers vary from those making purchase decisions based on our environmental policy, to those who are concerned with environmental issues, but are not willing to pay more to support them, to those who do not express any interest at all. We have, however, chosen to apply for sustainable forestry certifications, moved all chemicals possible to water-based, eco-friendly alternatives, developed more effective waste-reduction initiatives, and made a greater effort to recycle the waste stream that we do generate. In addition, we offer our customers recycled-paper alternatives, an FSC-
certified workflow, and several paper-based packaging alternatives to plastic.
