Pol\u00b7len Edicions is a cooperative publishing house specialised in publishing books of critical reflection on subjects such as social sciences, feminism or ecology. The cooperative has developed tools and a label to reduce the environmental footprint of books throughout their life cycle with the aim of bringing the publishing sector on board in this transition. Thus, Pol\u00b7len also offers a responsible publishing support service for de- sign, layout or printing management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Good ecological practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Pol.len has integrated the approach of reducing its ecological footprint in the entire production chain of its books. The approach is therefore global and concerns particularly purchases, waste and digital technologies.<\/p>\n

On the global approach, the cooperative has put in place the following actions :<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span> use a calculation tool for environmental indicators linked to the life cycle of books (BookDAPer<\/a>), in order to integrate a global ecological approach (eco-design, choice of paper and reduction of waste, water, energy and consumption of raw materials, transport, waste, carbon footprint).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0 communicate on the carbon footprint of each book.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0choose a printer with a good environmental management label (such as the “imprim vert” label in France)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]In terms of purchases and waste:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>print the books in the distribution territory[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>use recycled and\/or FSC-certified paper, and produced as locally as possible (for example, between choosing a local paper or another one certified but far away, it is preferable to choose local because of the carbon footprint due to transportation).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>use vegetable oil based inks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>apply eco-design practices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>do not use shrink wrap for books, plastic packaging, or plastic tape[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]On the digital side:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/i><\/span>\u00a0 use digital rather than offset publishing for less than 400 copies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What was the trigger?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The closing of El Tinter, a pioneer printer of responsible publishing, pushes its members and others to create in parallel the cooperative Pol-len Edicions, which was born in 2014. The development and sharing of good practices in favor of sustainable publishing is therefore a founding issue of Pol.len. At the same time, the publishing sector was mainly considering energy or transport savings in order to comply with ISO 14001<\/a> or EMAS<\/a> and Pol-len saw the need to integrate and promote an integral vision of the ecological footprint. To this end, they participated in the development of BookDAPer<\/a>, a tool for measuring the carbon footprint and resources used, in partnership with the Leitat technology center.<\/p>\n

Recently, the cooperative has also participated in the creation of the Ecoedici\u00f3 Institute and the Llibre Ecoeditat<\/a> label to verify and promote responsible practices within the editing sector.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Running the project<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The 4 employees of the Pol.len cooperative are all involved in changing practices within the structure. As of 2018, the cooperative has appointed a referent employee in charge of organizing the improvement of ecoresponsible practices. To define this strategy, an annual work plan is carried out with an assigned budget[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
