Livonia Zero Offset by Lessebo Paper has been produced with minimal GHG emissions and its production emits 25kg CO2 per tonne of finished paper, which Lessebo said is significantly lower than the European average.

All CO2 emissions from the production process are also compensated through a Gold Standard project.

The product is a white, uncoated paper quality available in weights from 100gsm to 140gsm as standard. The paper is Cradle to Cradle Certified at Gold level and FSC Certified and has a high opacity and a rough surface to provide the best reading experience.

The bulk of the paper is specially developed to give the book “a pleasant thickness and weight”.

Developed for high performance printers and available in both reels and sheets, the paper is produced in Sweden and contains locally sourced raw materials.

Jens Olson, CEO at Lessebo Paper, said: “We know that the industry must lead the way to a climate-smart society. By partnering with Livonia Print and Bonnier Books, we together take action to make the future of printed books even more environmentally friendly.”

Markus Guldstrand, production director at Bonnier Books, added: “At Bonnier Books, we are dedicated to running a sustainable business that leads the way in publishing for years to come.

“Partnering with Lessebo Paper and Livonia Print to bring this paper to the market is a prime example of that dedication. We’re excited to use this fantastic book paper which is a substantial step towards achieving our sustainability goals. And we remain fully committed to actively shaping a sustainable future for, and together with, our industry.”
