Edward Denison's Print and Production Finishes for Sustainable Design, published by RotoVision in 2009, is a reference on sustainable print finishing: eco-friendly inks and pigments, recycled substrates, and the manufacturing techniques behind them. It is a useful reference for designers who want to specify sustainable materials.

Greg Barber received the inaugural Eco Kudo Award from Communication Arts in 1998, recognizing early work in environmental printing at a time when recycled stock and vegetable inks were still a specialist request rather than an industry option.
