Data protection
There are moments, feelings and people in our lives that are very special. They trigger something in us, light up our world and make life worth living. We, the team at Bookfactory, do everything we can to ensure that such moments can be preserved and revived for as long as possible with our products. For us, every individual product is something unique, because we see the story and emotion behind it.
Bookbinding expertise
Bookfactory is part of Bubu AG. The family business Bubu was founded in 1941 and has been based in Mönchaltorf (ZH) for around 40 years. Every Bookfactory photo book therefore contains the dedication, experience and quality of three generations of bookbinding expertise.
Our raw materials
“We support regional suppliers wherever possible and attach great importance to sustainability, quality and short transport routes.”
Valeria Casamento, Craft
Wherever possible, we source our raw materials, products, packaging and services locally, as we attach great importance to supporting our regional and national suppliers. We see our suppliers as long-term partners who accompany us on our journey. For us, cooperation is friendship and trust. It goes without saying that we listen to each other and find a solution together.
Our suppliers supply us with products that are as sustainable as possible and, like us, strive to constantly improve quality. For example, all the paper, wood products and cardboard we use are FSC certified wherever possible. The FSC certificate is awarded to forests and plantations that are managed according to strict ecological and social principles. This should help to ensure that forests can be preserved in the long term. One of our papers, Refutura, is also FSC recycled certified. The FSC recycled label stands for products that contain only recycled material.
Emissions from electricity, waste and more
When processing the materials, we also treat the environment with care and respect. We are constantly finding new solutions to save electricity. We replace machines, install new lighting systems or exchange air compressors. We find solutions to reduce emissions from waste. Our waste is strictly separated, sorted and recycled. Our percentage of waste is therefore very low. Every new employee is trained and made aware of strict separation. We digitise, we reduce business travel and we offer the possibility to work in a home office.
Bookfactory also supports the myclimate foundation.

Project: Climate-optimized forest management in the canton of Solothurn
Bookfactory supports the myclimate Foundation
Reduced wood utilization optimizes forest management in a forest area in the canton of Solothurn, thus removing CO₂ from the atmosphere in the long term and making the forest more resilient. In addition, targeted biodiversity measures as part of the project enhance the habitat of weasels, amphibians, reptiles and dragonflies. Thanks to this project, 1236 ha of forest area will be sustainably managed, 9 endangered species will be promoted and 14,948 tons of CO₂ will be sequestered.
And you too can help!
Climate protection confirmationHow you can support the project
Have your order produced climate neutrally at Bookfactory as an option. This means that the CO₂ portion of your order is converted into a small amount of money and added to the order total. The CO₂ compensation goes directly to myclimate and the carbon offset project in the canton of Solothurn. You can activate the option at the end of your order in the shopping cart.
Thank you for your support!
