Glossary of Environmental Terms: EMAS

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, used by the European Union and regarded as the superior environmental standard. Includes transparent public reporting, monitoring, auditing and employee involvement in its implementation. EMAS is designed to deliver continual improvements in a company’s environmental performance.

ALCOHOL FREE OR LOW ALCOHOL

Lithographic printing that uses reduced amounts or no isopropyl alcohol (IPA), thereby reducing VOC emissions.

ISO14001

The International Organisation for Standards (ISO) promotes the development and implementation of voluntary international standards. ISO 14001 has established performance objectives and environmental management systems to prevent pollution, ensure compliance with regulations and achieve continual improvement

DAMPENING SOLUTION

This is used to keep the non-image areas of the plate moist, preventing them from accepting ink. Dampening solution usually contains high levels of a solvent called isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which contributes to VOC emissions. Some are available with a low IPA content or are IPA free. Waterless printing eliminates the need for dampening solution.

FSC

A WWF supported, international non-profit organisation, founded in 1993 to support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world’s forests. Products are certified at each stage of their manufacture to meet social, economic and environmental standards.

IPA

Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used as a cleaner and solvent in industry. Lithographic printers combine it with water to create ‘dampening solution’ which repels the ink in non-image areas. IPA contributes to ground level ozone which can effect plant and crop growth and poses a potential health hazard to printers and other people.

WMF

Forests that are certified and audited to ensure they comply with environmentally sustainable practice and principles. Systems used include the Forest Stewardship Council, the Finnish Forest Certification System (FFCS), the Pan-European Forest Certification Scheme (PEFC) and the North American Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

MINERAL OIL BASED INKS

Mostly only used in web printing nowadays, these inks typically contain 30-35% mineral-oil. The pigment is suspended in petroleum with Isopropyl alcohol as the solvent (see above). As the ink dries, alcohol and petroleum evaporate, releasing VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

PEFC

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes

VOCs

These are carbon-containing gases and vapors that are released from solvents used during the printing process. The most significant environmental impact of VOCs is their formation with vehicle exhaust to form photochemical smog. However, in liquid form VOCs can effect water and soil quality.

ECF/ PCF/ TCF

Pulp Bleaching uses harmful chemicals. ECF - Elemental Chlorine Free, TCF - Totally Chlorine Free, PCF - Process Chlorine Free

GREENMARK

This was developed by the London Environment Centre (LEC), part of London Metropolitan University and is more appropriate for smaller companies who lack the resources for IS0 14001. All participants enter the scheme at Level One where you must demonstrate that you are taking responsibility for your environmental impacts.

RECYCLE CONTENT

Paper that is reused after its original manufacture. Genuine recycled papers should contain a minimum of 20-30% post consumer waste. Other fibre sources may also include Virgin Wood Fibre, Recovered Fibre, PreConsumer waste and Post-Consumer waste, Alternative Fibres, and Mill Broke.

Produces no harmful waste products or VOCs.

Does not require the use of a gas like normal CO2 lasers, therefore producing fewer harmful byproducts.

Uses relatively little power when compared with traditional embossing. No lower limit on quantity.

Concentrated laser technology is roughly 10 times more efficient than standard gas lasers and uses less energy as a result.

High quality and accuracy of technology allows for limited use of halftones.

Uses little to no energy when not in use (unlike gas ones).

USES HIGH LEVELS OF ELECTRICITY

Cuts a variety of non ferous metals.

Garnet abrasive which is combined with water is inert and can be easily disposed of. Cuts through pretty much everything except diamond and certain glasses. Very little metal is wasted in the cutting process. USES HIGH LEVELS OF ELECTRICITY USES LOTS OF WATER (though it can be reused or treated and then released).
