Improve the accuracy of your paper emissions data
Paper is often the largest source of emissions in a book’s lifecycle, which makes improving the accuracy of your paper emissions data one of the most valuable steps you can take to strengthen your carbon footprint calculations.
The GBA Book Carbon Calculator lets you enter supplier-specific paper emission factors to create a more accurate estimate of your book's greenhouse gas emissions. However, if you don’t have access to supplier-specific data, there’s another way to calculate the impact of your paper use.
The Paper Calculator™ is a free, web-based tool that helps you measure and reduce the environmental impacts of paper. Managed by the Environmental Paper Network (EPN), it uses a science-based methodology grounded in life cycle assessment (LCA) to estimate impacts across the full life cycle of paper — from raw material extraction and processing to the end-of-life.
