Green Packaging: The Future of Sustainable Printing

Introduction to Green Printing

Green printing represents an environmentally responsible approach to manufacturing that minimizes ecological impact through sustainable materials, energy-efficient processes, and non-toxic inks. First developed in the 1980s by industrialized nations like Japan, Germany and the United States, this method focuses on reducing waste, pollution and hazardous substances throughout production.

In China, green printing was formally adopted as a national strategy in 2010. Government policies now actively promote its implementation across the printing industry, particularly in packaging applications where sustainability matters most.

Key Standards and Certifications

To ensure genuine environmental responsibility, green printing follows strict regulations:

• Complies with China's Environmental Protection Law and printing industry regulations
• Meets international standards for VOC emissions, waste disposal and energy use
• Requires certification through rigorous third-party audits (valid for 3 years)
• Follows technical standards covering materials, processes and final products

Major certification programs evaluate:
✔ Use of eco-friendly inks and adhesives
✔ Energy and water consumption efficiency
✔ Waste management systems
✔ Overall carbon footprint
