The Environmental Impact of a Printing Plate
As in-plants try to decrease the environmental impact of their shops, they often look at their platemaking operations. This report examines some of their options, including chemistry-free and processless plates.
All plates use resources in their development that have an impact on the environment. The major resources include chemistry for processing, water and energy. Plate processing also affects the ambient air through, for example, the release of VOCs. This paper focuses on chemistry, water and energy, and the waste resulting from their consumption.
