Japan's printing industry is how to develop green printing?

2018-06-04

Japan's printing industry association of China packaging net news 】 【 (JFPI) was founded in 1985, is to set up a joint by the country's 10 printing industry association. The printing industry association aim is through the way of strengthen information exchange and cooperation with each other, let can benefit all aspects of the printing industry, make the development of printing industry more mature.

The printing industry association has 10 affiliated association (as shown in figure 1), and each subordinate association has many member enterprise, the member enterprise of distribution in Japan's printing industry chain of each link. As of April 2015, the registered member companies a total of 8325. Therefore, the printing industry association, to a certain extent, reflect the overall condition of Japan's printing industry.


The evolution of Japanese environmental problems and the basic law of environment of Japan

The evolution of Japanese environmental problems can be roughly divided into the following process.

From 1868 to 1964, after the Meiji restoration period Japan into industrialisation, air pollution and water pollution problems began to spread.

From 1965 to 1971, due to the economic growth, exacerbated problems of air pollution and water pollution, the destruction of nature become a serious political problem. Therefore, "the basic law of pollution countermeasures" arises at the historic moment, and Japan also established a dedicated to the environmental protection agency.

From 1972 to 1985, the Japanese in all walks of life to take a lot of measures to reduce pollution of the environment, the public urban pollution and quality of life also devoted more attention to, such as limit automobile exhaust emissions.

Since 1986, global warming and biodiversity as a global issue, sustainable development has become a global consensus.

Japan's environmental basic law includes four parts, respectively is: emission control and pollution prevention; Recycling; The problem of global environment, chemical and energy reserves; The environment information and education. The environment the main content of the basic law is shown in figure 2.


Japan's printing industry environment action plan and result independently

Now, just doing things according to law is not enough, many companies in Japan are encouraged or ask for more independent environmental action plan. Since 1997, keidanren has been committed to the organization and promotion of environmental action plan work independently, in order to realize sustainable development, this is also the goal of Japanese environmental basic law. Now has 61 major industry to join the plan.

In 2005, Japan's printing industry federation also formally joined the environmental action plan independently. How do we do?


1. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions

In terms of co2 emissions, our goal is: in 2010, 2020 years ago, a Japanese printing industry association member companies within 975000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions control. In 2013, our carbon dioxide emissions of 955000 tons, achieved this goal ahead of schedule. In the future, we will continue to work to reduce carbon emissions. The printing industry association member enterprise carbon emissions as shown in figure 3.

2. The processing of industrial waste and landfill

In 2005, Japan's printing industry association member companies reached 09000 tons of industrial waste emissions, at that time, we hope to reduce the emissions of the industrial waste in 2015 to 07000 tons. Again, we greatly achieved his goal in advance. Reduced to 03000 tons of industrial waste in 2010, although in 2011 and increased 2011 tons, but then also keep decreasing. The printing industry association member enterprise of industrial waste discharge conditions as shown in figure 4.

3. The treatment of volatile organic compounds

In the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in 2000, after 2010, our goal is to control the emissions of VOCs 68100 tons a year. This goal also implemented earlier in 2009. We succeeded in reducing the emissions of VOCs. The printing industry association member enterprise VOCs emissions situation as shown in figure 5.

Above is from the perspective of the printing industry association, I see the Japanese printing green printing some of the basic situation, hope everybody many exchanges.
