China Launches National Green Printing Standard: Two-Phase Drafting Underway, Voluntary Participation for Printers
Under the drafting plan, the national environmental-protection printing standard will be completed in two phases, with the first-phase drafting plan treated as the current priority. To move that forward, the China Printing Technology Association has urged large and medium-sized printing enterprises in the industry to support the drafting work. Enterprises can participate in one of two capacities — standard co-drafting unit or standard collaborating unit — and involvement is entirely voluntary, with each printing company free to choose.
Once issued, the standard will serve as the implementation basis for green printing across China's printing industry and as an important direction for the sector's sustainable development. It will also be brought within the scope of several national policies: Document No. 90 issued by the Ministry of Finance (Opinions on the Implementation of Government Procurement of Environmentally Labelled Products), Document No. 129 of the General Office of the State Council on the catalogue and standards for centralized government procurement, and the State Council's Notice on Issuing the Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, under which energy-saving, water-saving and environmental-label products shift from priority government purchase to mandatory purchase.
As green printing continues to advance in depth across China's printing industry, the China Printing Technology Association and the Environmental Development Centre of the Ministry of Environmental Protection — entrusted by the General Administration of Press and Publication and the Ministry of Environmental Protection — officially launched the drafting of the national environmental-protection printing standard / technical requirements standard for printing environmental labelling in August 2009.
