Green printing
Green printing refers to the use of environmentally friendly materials and processes, which generate less pollution,
save resources and energy during the printing process. Printed materials are easy to recycle and recycle after disposal,
can be naturally degraded, and have little impact on the ecological environment. Green printing requires coordination
with the environment, including the use of environmentally friendly printing materials, clean printing production
processes, the safety of printed materials for users, and the recycling and recyclability of printed materials. The
entire lifecycle of printed materials, including raw material selection, production, use, and recycling, should comply
with environmental requirements
Introduction
Green printing refers to the use of environmentally friendly materials and processes, which generate less pollution,
save resources and energy during the printing process. Printed materials are easy to recycle and recycle after disposal,
can be naturally degraded, and have little impact on the ecological environment. Green printing requires coordination
with the environment, including the use of environmentally friendly printing materials, clean printing production
processes, the safety of printed materials for users, and the recycling and recyclability of printed materials. The
entire lifecycle of printed materials, including raw material selection, production, use, and recycling, should comply
with environmental requirements
Connotation
Green is a descriptive and descriptive term commonly recognized by countries around the world for things with two core
connotations of environmental friendliness and health benefits; Green printing refers to the use of environmentally
friendly materials and processes, which generate less pollution, save resources and energy during the printing process.
Printed materials are easy to recycle and recycle after disposal, can be naturally degraded, and have little impact on
the ecological environment. Not only does it reflect the concept of sustainable development, people-oriented, and
advanced technological level, but it is also an important means to achieve energy conservation, emission reduction, and
low-carbon economy
The industrial chain of green printing mainly includes green printing materials, printing graphic design, green plate
making process, green printing process, green post press processing process, environmentally friendly printing
equipment, printing waste recycling and regeneration, etc. By implementing green printing, the entire supply chain
system, including materials, processing, applications, and consumption, can enter a virtuous cycle
Main features
Generally speaking, green printing should have the following basic characteristics:
1. Reduction and moderation. Green printing, while meeting the requirements of information recognition, protection,
convenience, sales and other functions, should be a moderate printing with the least amount of usage and the most
simplified process
2. Non toxic and harmless. Printing materials should be non-toxic and harmless to humans and organisms. Printing
materials should not contain toxic substances, or the content of toxic substances should be controlled below relevant
standards
3. pollution-free and pollution-free. Throughout the entire life cycle of printed products, there should be no
environmental pollution or harm, that is, the entire life process from raw material collection, material processing,
product manufacturing, product use, waste recycling and regeneration, to final disposal, should not cause harm to human
health and the environment
