Antalis helping to set the facts straight on sustainability

Antalis has supplied the paper for the updated Two Sides Myths and Facts booklet.

Two Sides is a global initiative promoting the sustainable attributes of print, paper and paper packaging. The campaign is a collaboration of companies from sectors including forestry, pulp and paper manufacturing, packaging, inks, pre-press, press, finishing, publishing, printing, envelopes and postal operators.

When it comes to the sustainability of print, paper and paper packaging, it is important to separate the facts from the myths. The booklet explores the facts and myths around paper that are still prevalent amongst consumers. From ‘European forests are shrinking’ to ‘paper is bad for the environment’, the booklet highlights and explains nine common myths about print and paper.
