About Thomson - Shore, inc.

Thomson-Shore, Inc. is committed to protecting the environment and to the responsible use of natural resources. As a printer, with paper a core part of our business, we are concerned about the future of the world's remaining endangered forests. We are committed to implementing policies that will facilitate the conservation of ancient and other endangered – more... forests globally and will ensure that we are not contributing to the destruction of these irreplaceable natural treasures.

Thomson-Shore, Inc. confirmed its commitment to the environment by becoming the first book manufacturer to join the Green Press Initiative (GPI). GPI is a non-profit program of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs and is dedicated to increasing the use of environmentally preferable paper within the book industry. To date, 120 North American publishers have signed formal policies. GPI serves as bridge to assist publishers in the process of converting to recycled and ancient forest friendly papers.

As good stewards of the environment, Thomson-Shore has committed to a 3-5 year initiative by implementing a company-wide policy that includes maximizing the use of recycled paper and phasing out the use of papers that may contain fibers from endangered forests. Our goal is to make recycled papers readily available to publishers and to assist with the incorporation of recycled papers into books. This is a continuation of our efforts to work with suppliers to develop recycled paper useable for book publishers. During the spring of 2003, Thomson-Shore was the first U.S. book manufacturer to stock a 100% post consumer recycled paper. This was in addition to recycled papers of a lower post consumer amount already available and stocked at Thomson-Shore. We are expanding this testing and marketing effort with this new initiative.

To find out more about our recycled papers, please discuss your needs with your Thomson-Shore customer service representative. We will communicate more about our support of recycled papers and their availability in future issues of Printer's Ink. – lessMore from ZoomInfo »
