Precedent is now being produced in a more environmentally friendly manner.

We are now printing on 'Revive silk', a part-recycled Australian-made paper with an ISO 1401 Environmental Accreditation. The paper contains 35% locally sourced waste, which is made up of 15% post-consumer waste and 20% pre-consumer waste. It contains an additional 20% mill broke. It is chlorine free. 92% of the energy used to produce the stock is sourced from renewable hydro-electric and wind farm power.

We have dispensed with the petrochemical seal on the cover and no longer shrink-wrap copies of Precedent in order to deliver them to Australian Lawyers Alliance members and subscribers. We are now using part-recycled Australian-made envelopes.

The Australian Lawyers Alliance is taking steps across the board to reduce the environmental impact of its activities. By making Precedent more environmentally sustainable, we are taking a leading role in the legal publishing industry.
