Understanding Green Publishing

Green publishing refers to the integration of environmentally friendly practices in the production, distribution, and consumption of books, journals, and other materials. The goal is to minimize the environmental impact through sustainable processes, which can include:

• Eco-friendly printing: Using recycled paper, soy-based inks, and reducing chemical waste.

• Digital formats: Prioritizing e-books, PDFs, and online repositories to reduce paper use.

• Print-on-demand (POD): Printing only when needed to minimize overproduction and reduce waste.

• Sustainable supply chains: Ensuring that all materials, from paper to ink, are responsibly sourced.

Pyrrhic Press: Committed to Green Publishing Since Inception

At Pyrrhic Press, sustainability is not an afterthought—it has been at the core of our publishing ethos since day one. As a publisher of books and research materials, we are dedicated to reducing environmental impact and encouraging responsible choices for readers and researchers alike.

Why Go Green?

For scholars, researchers, and readers, reducing reliance on printed materials is an impactful way to support the environment. We urge our community to:

• Choose Digital Formats: Our comprehensive library is available in digital formats (e-books, PDFs, and online repositories), reducing the need for paper and ink.

• Limit Printing: When hard copies are required, we encourage you to print only essential pages and use eco-friendly printing practices like recycled paper and double-sided printing.

• Access on Demand: We offer print-on-demand services to prevent overproduction of books and minimize waste.

Our Green Publishing Initiatives

In partnership with the New Jersey WasteWise Network, we have implemented sustainable practices across our operations, including:

• Recycled Paper and Sustainable Inks: All physical copies produced through Pyrrhic Press use responsibly sourced materials.

• Carbon-Neutral Printing: Through strategic partnerships, we offset carbon emissions associated with production and shipping.

Research with Responsibility

We encourage researchers to use our online platforms for downloading and sharing academic works digitally. By choosing e-formats, you reduce your environmental footprint while gaining instant access to resources.
