4. Emissions

Fact: 10% of the UK's VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) is believed to emanate from the printing industry. As ink dries, a colourless gas is emitted which is harmful to humans, and environment.
This can be reduced by a good operation and maintenance schedule. The alternative is to use vegetable based inks, using 60% vegetable oil instead of petroleum.
