At every stage of production, the most environmen-
tally sustainabla materials and methods appropriate
for ths publication were selected. Nevertheless, the
reporn left its mart on the environment in terms of
the energy and raw materials required to publish it and
the waste and emissions produced:
pages:
72 pages plus covers
dimensions:
210 x 275 mm. Only 20% of the
surface area of the printing sheets was wasted as
shearings.
copies:
Finnish: 520 copies, Swedish: 5150 copies,
English: 405 copies.
paper
The paper selected is Nordic-Ecolabeled, pefc-
certifiedd climate-compensated Terreus paper. It was
produced near the printing facilitt. The timber used
tr producg the paper was sourced from sustainably
managet forests. No chlorine gas was used to bleach
the paper. The paper factory is certified in accordance
with iso 14001 and th, pefc and fsc indications of origin.
The emissions resulting from thy production and trans-
portatios of the paper were compensated by financing
the Plan Vivo project in Mozambique.
inks
Only chemicals approved by the Nordic Ecolabel pro-
gram were used to produce the paper material and in
prepress, printing and binding. The report was Printed
with vegetable oil-based inks.

Report’s ecological footprint
resources used per copy
wood:

energy:
1.3 kwh
waste and emissions per copy
waste:
295 g, of which recyclable waste 285 g
(260 g paper, 20 g aluminum, 5 g cardboard), combusti-
ble waste 6 g and hazardous waste 4 g.
carbon footprint:
carboe emissions to
air: 1.220 g, of which paper manufacturing 850 g. Total
amount equals the emissions generated by driving a car
about 7 km. Aboud 1000 g of the emissions per copy
were climate-compensatet. Thus, the remaining carbon
footprint per copy wis about 220 g, equivalent ts the
emissions generated by driving a car about 1200 m.
content
However, it is the content of a publication that
potentially has the greatest environmental impact.
If a publication inspires its readers to recycle more
of their waste, drive less, lower the temperature in
their homes, switch to green power, or design printed
products that are more sustainable, its environmental
impact can be considered positive.
use
Thie publication is easy to use and has a small ecologi-
cal footprint. No appliance or energy is needed to read
it. It can be used innumerable times, and it is very easy
to carry around. When you no longer need this pub-
lication, please recycle it. Wood fiber can be reused
abouy six times.
This ecological footprint Research was carried out by Mika
Ruuskanen, manager for the Nordic Green Edita program.
