Printing Harry Potter with Eco-Friendly Paper is also "Eco-friendly"

Xinhua News, London, October 3rd - The famous British woman writer Rowland Lin said in recent days that in order to protect the decreasing forest on Earth, her sixth episode of "Harry Potter" series of novels will be printed on recycled paper or other environmentally friendly paper. .
Rowling and Andy McKenna, Ben Elton and other 10 best-selling British novelists signed a declaration on the 2nd to ensure that future use of the British Forest Stewardship Council approved materials or recycled paper made from consumer waste Publishing books. Since then, Harry Potter, a juvenile magician with long brown hair and a pair of big glasses, has also had to pay attention to environmental protection.
According to statistics quoted by The Times, the global sales of the first five episodes of Harry Potter have exceeded 220 million, and the paper used for printing these books is equivalent to 6.5 million trees.
Statistics also show that one-third of British household waste comes from paper, but only 40% of them are recycled. Due to the fact that recycled paper costs more than traditional paper and is not strong enough and clean, there is currently no publisher in the UK that uses recycled paper to print books.
Canada has done a better job in this area. According to John Sauven, an expert from Greenpeace, some recycled paper produced by Canadian papermakers using consumer waste can be compared with traditional paper in terms of quality, color, and strength, and its cost is only higher than that of the latter. To 3%.
Sauvignon recommends that British publishers can learn from the Canadian counterparts, instead of using expensive film covers and gilding titles, which can solve the cost increase caused by the use of recycled paper. The "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" of "Harry Potter" published in Canada is printed entirely on recycled paper, and its cost is almost equivalent to the use of traditional paper.
Sauvignon estimated that if the sixth episode of Harry Potter was printed on recycled paper, it would save 96,000 trees in the UK alone.
