Graphic Design Resource Re-nourish Joins the Environmental Paper Network
September 4, 2010 | Levent OZLER
Sustainable graphic design resource Re-nourish has joined the Environmental Paper Network, a diverse coalition of leading environmental groups, in an effort to move the pulp and paper industry toward environmental and social sustainability.
Re-nourish's membership in the EPN represents a commitment to the coalition's Common Vision, which focuses on minimizing paper use, increasing recycled content in paper, supporting clean pulp and paper production, and encouraging responsible fiber sourcing.
"Sustainable graphic design is such a critical decision point in our society's consumption of paper," said Joshua Martin, Director of the Environmental Paper Network.
"Re-nourish is doing creative, important work to educate graphic designers on responsible use of paper products and the power they hold in their hands, and it's exciting to have Re-nourish formally join our membership."
"Joining the EPN is a critical step for us," commented Re-nourish partner and Content Lead Jess Sand.
"Graphic designers play a critical role in the world of paper purchasing, and we need to close the loop between designers, manufacturers, distributors, and the rest of the marketplace if we're going to change the way paper is made."
Re-nourish has spent the last several years developing tools to connect graphic designers to their supply chain, including free searchable greener printer and paper directories, and a waste reduction and footprint calculator for design projects.
