Magazines are usually printed on glossy or semi-glossy paper which is more costly to produce than newsprint and doesn’t break down as easily as newspaper does; it is also often not recyclable. No paper or ink is needed; the required resources are almost nil and so is the energy used to get the magazine out to its readers.
