We LOVE books and we also LOVE our PLANET, which is why we are committed to REDUCING our IMPACT on the ENVIRONMENT.

WE USE RESPONSIBLY SOURCED PAPER

Our paper is FSC-certified, which means that it comes from well-managed forests. It helps to protect habitats, plant more trees, and look after local people and wildlife.

WE USE VEGETABLE-BASED INKS

IBC

Ink made using oil from vegetables is more environmentally friendly than chemical-based inks, which are made from fossil-fuels that are non-renewable and more harmful to the environment.

WE’VE REMOVED PLASTIC FROM OUR COVERS

We varnish our covers instead of laminating them with a thin layer of plastic film, which means they are 100% plastic free and can be easily recycled.

WE DON’T USE EXTRA DECORATIONS LIKE GLITTER OR FOIL

Glitter can contain microplastics that are harmful to the environment.

What YOU can do

If you see this symbol it means you can put the book in your household recycling bin, or why not pass it on to a friend or donate it to charity?

If you see this symbol it means that part of the book - like a ribbon marker - may not be recyclable at home. But you can still pass it on to friends, family or a charity.
