THE INFLUENCE AND IMPACT OF DIGITAL PRINTING ON CARBON FOOT PRINT OF PRINT INDUSTRY

Sustainable print industry needs to focus on eliminating waste and reducing their carbon footprint. Print services can accommodate this by using better equipment, good planning, and advanced manufacturing and printing technology. The carbon footprint of ma nufacturing and transport as well as overall energy use in print manufacturing could be reduced substantially and thus global “resource productivity” can be greatly enhanced and carbon emissions can be reduced. 3d printing Reduces material waste and scrap it also limits the amount of energy used. The more efficient use of raw materials and need minimal harmful (e.g., etching) chemicals make it an environmentally friendly production process. Hence reduces the overall Carbon footprint of a given product.
