A large media corporation like Transcontinental - 60 locations and $2 billion in revenue - needs to explore environmentally-friendly products and processes in a wide range of areas. As part of their learning process, they have developed a number of papers on environmental issues that are of concern both to Transcontinental and to print buyers. Recycled Paper Demystified, for example, is a good starting point for learning more about the processes and labeling of recycled paper. Learn about VOC emissions in Reducing VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Did you know, for example, that the printing and publication industry accounts for roughly 10% of total Canadian solvent VOC emissions? These issue papers are available on the Transcontinental website:
  • Forestry Certification Programs
  • Reducing VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
  • Environmental Transparency: The Carbon Disclosure Project
  • Recycled Paper Demystified
  • New guidelines regarding environmental claims/labeling
  • Transcontinental Printing's Environmental Policy
