    Responsible Paper Practices

    HMH surpassed the goals outlined in our 2019–2022 paper policy. On average, between 2019 and 2022, 98% of HMH-purchased paper for education products was manufactured with at least 10% recycled fiber. During that time, our sustainable paper practices saved the equivalent of more than 1.1 million trees.
