Recycled Papers: The Essential Guide

By American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and Claudia Thompson

Book Overview

Paper is the largest single component of municipal solid waste, and the recycling of paper must be part of any resolution to the current garbage crisis. Because there are no uniform standards for the generic term recycled, it is still difficult for paper users to make environmentally responsible purchasing decisions. Myths, mis-information and confusion abound. This first comprehensive guide to recycled printing and writing papers will therfore be an invaluable resource for anyone involved with printing, production, design, or issues of recycling in general. The book itself, printed on four different types of recycled paper, is a demonstration of the quality that informed designers and publishers can achieve.
