Book Using KFCC-Certified Paper published

In Korea, the neighboring country of Japan, paper certified by the Korea Forest Certification Council (KFCC) has been produced. The practical book "Art: Art Management" (The Creators Publishing Co., Ltd.) uses certified paper with both KFCC and PEFC trademarks printed on the back of the book.
The use of certified paper in Korea is not only beneficial for the environment but also for cultural and economic activities. It provides a good opportunity for companies to communicate to readers that they are actively involved in environmental conservation. The spread of certified paper use around the world would be a significant step towards a more sustainable society.
