We made a book

During our journey for a world with less plastic, we were amazed by the valuable ideas and initiatives which are out there. And we were fascinated by the fabulous people who put all their creative and enthusiastic energy into this mission. It was obvious for us to write it down in a lovely book for you. And here it is:

SO LONG, PLASTIC!

Beautiful • Inspirational • Informative

In this book we invite you to learn about 85 innovative and gorgeous solutions that reduce or replace single-use plastic products. We also present exciting initiatives with the goal to fight against
our society’s plastoholic behavior and the problems related to plastic pollution. Also we talk to people who contribute for the good and we share our view of the BEYONDPLASTIC adventure.

SO LONG, PLASTIC! celebrates the participants of the BEYONDPLASTIC Award, which honors the excellence in eco-design with the motto: ʻLet us start a product and packaging renaissance across the world!ʼ

Quality First

Here you see Dani, who made the Concept, Design & Production Management for this book, approving the print quality and signing the first OK-sheet.

Natural paper for perfectionists

This is one printed pile of Pergraphica premium design paper which meets high sustainability standards. And it has such an awesome Touch, Look & Feel!

Making a book takes time

The printing alone took two days, the binding another two days. And it took months to concept, layout, edit, proofread and to manage all the things around. Time well spent and rewarding work!
