The survey results were not all sobering, however. According to the report, the book industry’s use of recycled fiber has increased six-fold in the past few years, from 2.5 percent in 2004 to 13.3 percent in 2007. In addition, many companies in the industry are developing environmental policies and setting goals to increase their use of recycled and certified paper, improve impacts on forests, reduce energy consumption and lessen their overall carbon footprint. Fifty-nine percent of study respondents indicated that they have or intend to have an environmental policy in place.
