What are the environmental regulations for the self-adhesive label printing industry?

The environmental regulatory requirements of the self-adhesive label printing industry mainly include the following aspects:

First, environmental certification requirements

ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification: This is one of the most authoritative environmental management certifications in the world. Companies that receive this certification are required to establish a complete environmental management system to ensure compliance with environmental regulations in the production process, reduce pollution emissions, and improve resource efficiency. For self-adhesive label manufacturers, obtaining ISO 14001 certification means that they have a high level of environmental management, and can provide customers with more environmentally friendly label products.

RoHS certification: Certification for the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. As an important part of electronic and electrical products, self-adhesive labels also need to meet the requirements of RoHS certification. The RoHS certified self-adhesive label does not contain harmful substances such as lead, mercury and cadmium in its raw materials, thereby reducing the potential harm to the environment and human body.

FSC Forest Certification: Certification for the use of renewable resources. The raw materials of self-adhesive labels often come from renewable resources such as wood, so the self-adhesive labels that have obtained FSC forest certification come from sustainable forests that have been strictly managed, which not only protects the ecological environment but also promotes the rational use of forest resources.

2. Environmental standards and norms

Printing industry emission standards: such as the "Technical Guide for Self-monitoring of pollutant discharge units Printing industry" and other standards, specify the general requirements for self-monitoring of pollutant discharge units in the printing industry, monitoring programs and systems. These standards mainly involve the monitoring requirements of waste water, waste gas, noise and surrounding environmental governance to ensure that printing enterprises comply with environmental regulations in the production process and reduce pollution emissions.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission control: For the VOCs emissions generated in the printing process, the national and local governments have formulated corresponding emission standards and control requirements. Self-adhesive label printing enterprises need to strictly comply with these standards in the production process and take effective measures to reduce VOCs emissions, such as the use of low VOCs content inks and cleaning agents, and strengthen waste gas treatment.

Other environmental specifications: such as "Environmental Standards for Printed Matter", "Green Packaging Evaluation Methods and criteria", etc., these specifications put forward specific requirements for the environmental performance of printed matter, including the materials used, printing process, disposal after waste and so on. Self-adhesive label printing enterprises need to follow these specifications and produce label products that meet environmental protection requirements.

Environmental trends and future requirements

With the improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous improvement of regulations, the self-adhesive label printing industry will face more stringent environmental requirements. In the future, self-adhesive label printing enterprises need to pay more attention to the development and application of environmental protection technology, such as promoting the use of environmentally friendly materials, environmentally friendly inks and printing methods; At the same time, we will strengthen the treatment and emission control of pollutants such as waste water and waste gas to ensure that the production process meets the requirements of environmental regulations and standards.

In summary, the environmental regulatory requirements of the label printing industry involve many aspects, and enterprises need to pay close attention to relevant regulations and policy dynamics, strengthen environmental management and technological innovation, in order to adapt to the changing environmental requirements and market environment.
