He will briefly discuss how print and paper have been the preferred communications medium for 2000 years and how Two Sides seeks to ensure that through fostering a better understanding of the industry’s environmental credentials, print and paper. It is through its myriad of uses from commercial applications to the basis of learning and creativity, that it remains the essential communication medium of choice.
