Since inception, printing has become part of our daily activities. The paperwork which characterized traditional industries has now been replaced by file storage systems such as CDs, DVDs, flash discs and hard discs, just to mention a few. The challenge though has been the disposal of wastes. Most of these appliances are made of non biodegradable materials which expose the environment to untold pollution. It is now high time that digital printing that is eco friendly needs to be embraced.
The disadvantages aside, great strides have been made as compared with the former years. Lesser energy is now being consumed and the amount of wastes has significantly gone down. The resultant products are also more durable. Rubbishing digital printing is thus not an option. You only need to make it better, more efficient and up-to-date with the ever advancing technology.
Packaging by use of plastics and other non biodegradable products should be discouraged. They normally form a heap which cannot decompose when thrown and managing becomes hectic. Instead, other materials like paper which are disposable are better for this purpose. Still, their durability needs to be improved to prevent people from reverting to plastics.
Imaging is normally done by the use of an oil film. This film combines with electronic ink to form the image. Good ink is which can be disposed off in a normal way, and of which poses no danger to the environment. Those known for being common in the market should be handled in a special way before being disposed. Moreover, the oil should be reusable to avoid wastes.
During the process of printing, there are some volatile agents who are released into the air. These agents can expose man to great risks. Some of them contain active atoms that can be gravely harmful. Every stakeholder in this business has to take environmental impact assessment seriously and fully observe the legal requirements. Potentially harmful components have to be checked before being released into the air. Serious study in this field is mandatory to suggest better options in terms of safety.
Also worth considering is the ozone layer. Potentially harmful substances to the ozone if detoxified, greatly reduces problematic situations. In unavoidable circumstances, the duration of exposure should be kept at a minimum. Cartridges known for having been used are better handled carefully too. Serious regulations on ozone depletion exist in all parts of the globe, and ignorance to them is not an option at all.
The ink used has to be eco friendly as well. Some of the printed materials are used to package foods and drugs. If the ink has some poisonous contents, it can cause great damage to the users. Recent innovation to come up with waterless ink is a welcome move. Such an ink will greatly cut down on the cost of printing which traditionally consumed tones of water. This kind of ink makes printing to be enjoyable and more convenient.
Technological interventions should continue. The substances that result therein have to be advantageous to the human race while at the same time maintaining ecological friendliness. These inventor need to beware of pollution effects and avoid them as much as possible.
