Tree-free options
Printer Greg Barber
recommends using recycled
and synthetic
papers, and he offers
a variety of choices. TerraSkin is a treefree,
chlorine-free
paper made from
crushed rock. It’s
highly durable and
waterproof as well. |  |
Boundless choices
In the ’80s and ’90s,
the movement for the
design industry to
“go green” surfaced,
and many paper companies
began manufacturing
products
with post-consumer
recycled content.
Neenah Paper, Domtar
Inc., Cascades Fine
Papers Group, Rolland
Inc., Scheufelen, and
Monadnock Paper
Mills, Inc. all offer
smart paper choices
for environmentally
conscious printers
and designers. |  |
Banding together
This postcard package
functions as a promotion
for ALR Design.
Nine cards were printed
on a single sheet of
paper, cut, and assembled
by hand. A simple
paper band holds them
together. This project
highlights the effectiveness
of low-budget,
environmentally conscious
design and printing
practices. Paper
is Cascades Evolution
100-percent postconsumer
waste.
