Rudy Shur, publisher of Square One Publishers and a member of the PMA board, used 113,000 lbs. of 30-percent or higher PCW recycled paper in 2004. That may increase since Square One is one of the fastest growing independent publishers in the country, according to Publishers Weekly (March 7, 2005).
Shur partners with Verde Press, which positions itself as a "green" printer, for all his titles. Beyond offering environmental papers, Verde also uses vegetable-based inks and converts its film-developing chemistry to an aqueous-based format. It extracts silver from the chemicals when processing film, and at the completion of each job, it recycles all waste papers and discarded aluminum plates.
