PROPOSAL FOR AN ECO-FRIENDLY PRINTING STANDARD AND EEFP (EUROPEAN ECO-FRIENDLY PRINTER) CONFIRMATION LABEL AND CERTIFICATION SYSTEM
Abstract
In the struggle between graphic and electronic communication taking place in our evolving information society, this latter type of communications seems to have a more positive image in society. Such judgment must have emerged as a result of opinions that have been formulated in relation to the erroneously interpreted and assumed environmentally-damaging impacts of printed products and technologies. The author proposes to create an EEFP confirmation label and develop a rating system. Taking into the account the already existing systems of the national associations can the system of principles be developed that is adequate for appropriate assessment, yet it does not make the operation unnecessarily complex. Principally, a set of criteria is needed, that is already built into the national systems with qualification streamlined for documentation and control.
