Green Printing Strategy Promotes Transformation of Industrial Development Mode

In order to speed up the implementation of the green printing strategy, promote the transformation of the development mode of the printing industry in China, realize the goal of building a strong press and publishing country, and promote the construction of an ecological civilization, resource-saving, and environment-friendly society in China, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Press and Publications will take action on September 14, 2010. Japan held the "Signing Ceremony of Implementing a Green Printing Strategic Cooperation Agreement" at the General Administration of Press and Publication.

Zhou Shengxian, Minister of Environmental Protection, and Liu Binjie, Director of the General Administration of Press and Publication formally signed the "Agreement on Implementing Green Printing Strategic Cooperation" and delivered a speech. Wu Xiaoqing, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, introduced the relevant work of the two departments in the implementation of the green printing strategic cooperation. The signing ceremony was presided over by Xiao Xiaohong, Deputy Director of the General Administration of Press and Publication.

Historically, China has been the inventor and promoter of movable type printing; today, China has developed into one of the three major bases of the global printing industry. The printing industry has played a role in all historical stages of China's economic, political, social, and cultural development. Very important role. In modern life, "clothing, food, housing, and transportation" are inseparable from printing. At present, protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development and jointly coping with climate change have become international consensus. Countries in the world are increasingly demanding energy conservation, consumption reduction, emission reduction and greening in the development of the industry, and the people are paying more and more attention to environmental issues in printed matters. . Therefore, "changing printing and advocating green" is an important content of ecological civilization, environmental friendliness, and people-oriented. Green printing mainly refers to printing methods that have little impact on the ecological environment, less pollution, and save resources and energy. At present, the implementation of green printing in the printing industry mainly refers to the replacement of traditional heavy-duty printing technologies with environmentally friendly printing technologies, such as the use of water-based inks in place of benzene-based inks, water-based glazing as an alternative to oily glazing, and molding with honeycomb paperboard and paper pulp. Materials replace polystyrene foam materials, and use more environmentally friendly printing materials. Green printing has become the mainstream of the future development of the global printing industry. The development of green printing has also become the main direction for the development of China's printing industry.

In his speech, Minister Zhou Shengxian pointed out that actively exploring new roads for environmental protection in China must comprehensively infiltrate the new concepts and requirements of environmental protection into economic and social development, take into consideration the entire process of reproduction, and integrate environmental protection throughout production. The various links of circulation, distribution, and consumption are embodied in various fields such as industry, agriculture, transportation, construction, and services, and are implemented in all aspects of government organizations, schools, research institutes, communities, and families, and establish comprehensive coverage. Environmental protection system for economic and social development effectively prevents and reduces environmental pollution. As an important industrial sector in the modern processing service industry, achieving green development in the printing industry can not only curb the environmental pollution brought about by a large number of printed materials, but also promote technological upgrading and structural adjustment in the entire industry, create new development advantages, and usher in even greater opportunities for development. .

In his speech, Director Liu Binjie pointed out that accelerating the implementation of the green printing strategy is an important measure for China to move from a big printing country to a powerful printing country, and it is the responsibility of the General Administration of Press and Publication to implement the national environmental protection strategy. The deployment of a green and strategic cooperation agreement is a major event for China’s press and publishing industry, especially the printing industry, to embark on a scientific development. We must profoundly understand the importance of implementing green printing in improving the production environment of printing professionals and safeguarding the health of consumers in general; it is important to promote the adjustment of the industrial structure of China's printing industry. We must make full use of the “green” approach, vigorously support large and medium-sized environmental protection printing companies, encourage technological innovation in the printing industry, and focus on strengthening coordination and cooperation, building model enterprises, and implementing major projects, and take practical measures to vigorously promote the implementation of green printing. The environmental protection and green news publishing industry has made its due contribution to allow green printing to go with the good life.

According to the signed cooperation agreement, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Press and Publication will jointly establish a leading group for the implementation of green printing strategy, study and formulate a green printing action plan, formulate and issue a printing environment logo standard, and improve the green printing evaluation system. Promote the implementation of green printing standards among printing companies, prioritize the green printing of teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, and gradually promote the printing of government procurement products, food and drug packaging and printing, and strengthen the policy support for the implementation of green printing in printing enterprises, eliminate backwardness. Printing technology, technology, and production capacity have driven China's printing industry to accelerate green transformation and upgrading.

Previously, the General Administration of Press and Publication had organized seven publishing units in Shanghai and Beijing and more than a dozen printing companies to carry out the pilot green printing of teaching materials for primary and secondary schools in autumn 2010. In the fall of 2010, a total of 100 kinds of more than 14 million copies of teaching materials for primary and secondary schools were adopted. Green printing covers more than 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities).

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Press and Publication, printing industry associations, printing and research institutes, green printing equipment and material suppliers, and responsible persons of the autumn 2010 textbook green printing pilot publishing units and printing companies attended a signing ceremony
