"Implementing the innovation-driven strategy, building an 'upgraded version' of the modern printing industry has become the main development requirement, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, guiding green production, and promoting the development of cultural industries and the construction of ecological civilization." On March 12, Feng Yi, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Guangdong Tianlong Ink Group Co., LTD., suggested that China's printing industry should actively promote environmentally friendly green printing, vigorously promote green ink and green printing process, improve the quality of atmospheric environment, and protect the health of the people.

Printing industry is involved in news and publishing, student textbooks, food packaging, decoration packaging, modern office, electronics industry, building materials and many other fields of industry, is an indispensable part of the national economy, is closely related to people's lives. Since the reform and opening up, the printing industry has achieved rapid and comprehensive development in terms of production scale, process tooling and technical quality level. However, in the process of the overall development of the printing industry to green environmental protection, there are still problems such as VOC control and control of the industrial chain (including the ink industry) centered on the printing industry, and the replacement and promotion of environmentally friendly printing materials.

Feng Yi said in an interview with China Business Daily that the core of promoting environmentally friendly printing is ink. Because the production process of traditional ink requires the use of organic solvents (VOC), so in the printing process, the organic solvent in the ink volatilizes into the air, not only poses a hazard to the body of the printer, but also has a greater impact on the air quality, especially the residual solvent of the print will also have a certain impact on the health of students, readers and consumers. At present, most of China's printing industry is still using traditional inks (offset ink, solvent ink). With the improvement of people's living standards, health awareness and environmental protection awareness are also constantly improving, China's printing industry fully promotes the use of environmentally friendly printing inks, such as water-based ink, UV light solid ink and other innovative environmentally friendly inks without VOC content, in order to solve the VOC emission reduction in the printing industry and solve the residual solvent in printed matter. It is very urgent to promote the development of China's printing industry to environmental protection and green direction as soon as possible.

Feng Yi suggested that to promote environmentally friendly printing in China's printing industry, first of all, we should start with the printing industry chain (printing, ink), link the overall solution to environmental problems, and accelerate the overall promotion of the printing industry to green and environmental protection; Secondly, the national industrial policy should give support and guidance, and relevant policies should give support and guarantee; In addition, support technological progress, environmental protection printing, green printing as the main line, give play to the main role of enterprises, especially backbone enterprises; Finally, support green printing and ink environmental protection industry supporting projects, the establishment of sound legislation, supervision, testing and production standards.

Feng Yi also said that China's green printing standard system and implementation framework need to be further improved, and the construction of green standardization system and certification system for raw and auxiliary materials is not sound enough. We should vigorously promote the green development, circular development and low-carbon development of printing and related industries. Promote the construction of green printing environmental protection system and testing system, and realize the coordinated development of green materials and environmental protection equipment; Develop cleaner production technology innovation projects, establish cleaner production demonstration bases, and meet the national requirements on energy saving and VOC emission reduction; Use the green printing backforcing mechanism to integrate effective resources and eliminate backward production capacity. Should focus on the digital, information, network, intelligent industry development trend, implement the relevant policies and opinions, give full play to the role of market mechanisms, enhance industrial innovation capacity, promote circular economy plan, achieve sustainable development of the printing industry, promote the printing industry integration of advanced science and technology, to achieve a comprehensive digital transformation; Promote the printing industry to extend the industrial chain, integrate creative and design elements, develop the Internet + public service platform, and realize the transformation into a modern service industry. Improve the construction of green printing system and green testing system, promote clean production, and achieve full coverage of green printing in the fields of publication printing, commercial printing, and packaging and decoration printing. Only by implementing the green printing strategy can we effectively eliminate backward production capacity and create a new pattern of low-carbon and green development of the industry.
