Environmental protection pressure in the ink industry is increasing, and future sustainable development countermeasures analysis

As the national government and the public continue to pay more attention to environmental protection, the environmental protection pressure faced by the ink industry continues to increase. In the future development of the ink industry, green, environmental protection, safety and health will inevitably become the mainstream trend. Reducing environmental pollution and launching green products have become the only way for the development of the ink industry.

Since the birth of the ink industry, environmental protection and green have always been accompanied by development, and the environmental performance of ink has directly had an important impact on people and the environment. Many ink products in our country have different degrees of pollution problems. Future development should pay more attention to the environmental performance of inks, so as to achieve the goal of sustainable development of the ink industry.

The environmental performance of the ink can be measured from the ink itself and ink printing. The specific examination focuses include harmful metal indicators, heavy metal indicators, and volatile organic compounds. This reflects from the side that the environmental performance of ink runs through the entire process of ink manufacturing and printing, and any point can affect the environmental characteristics of ink.

The pollution problems of my country's ink products also mainly appear on the above-mentioned measurement indicators, such as excessive heavy metal substances, excessive volatile substances, and excessive solvent residues. The environmental problems of inks are prominent, which stems from my country's environmental protection system and fewer requirements.

Compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, my country's ink industry does not require many environmental protection requirements, and environmental protection regulations are not sound. For example, developed countries in Europe and the United States have formulated green safety laws and regulations on packaging materials, and my country pays more attention to the color and layering of the ink in the use of packaging materials. In addition, my country has not yet issued laws and regulations on the environmental protection and safety performance of inks.

In response to the environmental pressure of the ink industry, Qianzhan Industry Research Institute believes that the countermeasures to achieve sustainable development goals in the future can start from two aspects. First, speed up the formulation of green ink standards and related laws and regulations. Institutional protection is the key to the development of the ink industry. In the future, it is necessary to further improve and refine ink environmental protection regulations, speed up the formulation of mandatory standards for green inks, escort the healthy and sustainable development of the ink industry, and promote the integration of green inks with international standards.

Secondly, establish a green ink standard system. In this regard, first, we must establish a production process control standard system, try to use high-purity raw materials to reduce the content of toxic and hazardous substances; second, establish research and development principles, adhere to the bottom line of health and safety, and strengthen the concept of green environmental protection; third, establish a customer service system , Focusing on strict identification of its environmental performance and related indicators.

Generally speaking, if my country's ink industry wants to occupy a place in the fierce market environment, it must speed up the establishment of green ink standards and related systems to achieve international standards and make ink products meet the environmental protection requirements of domestic and foreign systems.
