This kind of resource used to be produced by the paper merchants but because this one is put out by a printer, it\u2019s a bit more broad-based and comprehensive in terms of the papers it covers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting in a paper kind of way. Of course, the one thing it doesn\u2019t include is pricing. That&#8217;s fair enough; price is always negotiable when it comes to paper. The point is, for many paper users, it will also be the important criteria for purchase, regardless of any good intentions about saving the environment. Not everybody will buy on price &#8211; some will put always environmental factors foremost &#8211; but, for a significant number, budget is a constraining factor.<\/p>\n<p>You can argue about the environmental ins and outs of paper production until you go green in the face but if users aren\u2019t prepared to pay for it or, even more insidiously, use environmental concerns as an excuse for cost-cutting with digital media, then ultimately you may as well go and tell it to the trees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/deadreal.com.au\/dead_paper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Paper-guide-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-283 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/deadreal.com.au\/dead_paper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Paper-guide-2.jpg\" alt=\"Green paper guide\" width=\"567\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deadreal.com.au\/dead_paper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Paper-guide-2.jpg 567w, https:\/\/deadreal.com.au\/dead_paper\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Paper-guide-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the sad thing about publications like this one, for all their usefulness and desire to educate and inform; there\u2019s a discomfiting sense that the green paper boat, so to speak, has already sailed.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to convince anybody or change minds but it\u2019s a useful aid for people who are already committed to paper.
