UN Sustainable Developement Goal nr. 12: Sustainable Consumption And Production
We believe that any product we make, should make as low enviromental impact as possible. And we also believe that if you can’t make something that isn’t good, in all sense of the word, one should not make it at all. We also believ that You want the same. To buy something that makes you happy with ALL aspects of your purchase. Both the quality of the product, but also the social and enviromental impact the product has made.
Therefore, we print our books locally and as enviromentally friendly as possible. This also supports the local economy and builds sustaianable communities with opportunities for everyone.
Because we care, and because we know you do too.

Paper Quality and Enviromental Friendliness
When it comes to books, something that rarely gets the attention it deserves – is the paper. When it comes to coloring books, which have taken the world by storm in recent years, one should choose paper that not only satisfies the coloring requirements, but also the environment.
White non-bleached paper that can handle even water colors without significant buldging. Thick enough to color in the books, without smudging the next page.
We use the following paper:
Cocoon offset, Arjowiggins Graphic, France.
TS_EN_COCOON_OFFSET_00_ISS_01112015
