Can going green bring in the greenbacks?

Following on the heels of the newspaper and catalog industries, book publishers are feeling pressure from their customers (and from their authors) to make their products increasingly environmentally friendly. But does going green mean going broke?

Click here to find out how publishers can adapt to – and even profit from – this environmental challenge.



For every ton of 100% recycled paper you use instead of virgin paper, you save:

24 trees
2,100 lbs of green house gases
17 million BTUs of energy
1,100 lbs of solid waste

Transcontinental was selected to print the French edition of the final Harry Potter novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter et les reliques de la mort). It will be printed on unbleached, 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

 At Transcontinental, we’re sticking with PUR glue
PUR glue was developed in the late ‘80s as an alternative to traditional hot-melt glues. It is considered by many bindery experts to be the most flexible and durable adhesive on the market. And it’s much more eco-friendly than other alternatives.
