The printing industry is closely related to the daily lives of the people. Each of us comes into contact with a large number of printed products every day. Whether the production process of printed products is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and whether the printed products produced are qualified, all directly affect the ecological environment and people's physical health. Therefore, actively promoting green printing is of great significance


Why promote green printing

With the rapid development of global industry, environmental protection has become one of the most important issues in the world. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the issue of toxic and harmful substances in consumer goods. The harmful substances such as formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds contained in printed materials pose a significant threat to human health. Implementing the national strategy for sustainable quality development and green printing is of great significance for implementing relevant central policies, promoting industrial development, and advancing energy conservation and emission reduction to promote sustainable development

Green Printing Policy Orientation



Green printing refers toUsing environmentally friendly materials and processes, the printing process generates less pollution, saves resources and energy, and makes printed materials easy to recycle and reuse after being discardedA printing method that is recyclable, naturally degradable, and has minimal impact on the ecological environment

According to the requirements of the national environmental protection strategy, printing enterprises should carry out production and business activities in accordance with standards and provide qualified products. TCAN 001-2019 "General Technical Specifications and Evaluation Methods for Green Printing in Newspaper Industry" specifies the general technical requirements, evaluation, and inspection methods for green printing involved in newspaper printing
1
The emission of pollutants by production enterprises shall comply with relevant environmental protection laws and regulationsVolatile organic compounds (VOCs), water pollutants, and factory noiseThe emission of pollutants should meet the requirements of national and local emission standards, and there have been no major safety accidents or environmental pollution incidents in the past three years
2
Adopting national encouragementAdvanced technology and processTechnologies, processes, equipment, and related substances that have been phased out or banned by national or relevant departments should not be used
3
printproduct qualityIt should comply with national and industry standards such as GB/T 17934.3-2003 and GB/T 34053.5-2017
4
Compliance with the Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, resulting insolid wasteThe collection, storage, and disposal should comply with relevant regulations
5
Hazardous wasteThe storage should comply with the relevant provisions of GB 18597-2001 and be disposed of in accordance with the law



Requirements for Green Printing Technology

In terms of technical requirements, the green printing standard for newspapers stipulates that the content of six plasticizers (DBP, BBP, DEHP, DNOP, DINP, DIDP) in raw and auxiliary materials such as ink, rubber rollers, cleaning agents, and rubber blankets shall not exceed the limit requirements specified in Table 1



At the same time, as a key consumable that cannot be missing in the printing process, the wetting solution is not allowed to add methanol or cyclohexanone according to the standard. The determination of methanol shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB 18581-2009, and the determination of cyclohexanone shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of YC/T 207-2014


The flash point of the cleaning agent should be higher than 60 ℃, and kerosene or gasoline should not be used as cleaning agents. The flash point determination shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 21775-2008



It is recommended to use the raw and auxiliary materials required in Table 2, with a comprehensive evaluation score of no less than 75 points



The printing production process should adopt the environmental protection measures required in the table below, with a total score of no less than 80 points
