印刷産業における環境対応とSDGs

抄録

Efforts to promote sustainable development goals (SDGs) constitute a common challenge for all companies. In the printing industry, environmental measures have four main categories: curbing greenhouse gas emissions, creating a recycling-oriented society, reducing environmental pollutants, and addressing residents' environmental concerns. With a focus on these four measures, this paper discusses the contents and results of the Carbon Neutral Declaration and Voluntary Action Plan for the Environment undertaken by the Japan Federation of Printing Industries. Moreover, the paper lists specific actions to realize SDGs and shows how the environmental measures taken by the printing industry correspond to the SDGs. This list contains items associated with Green Printing Certification Criteria (GPCC); and further, the relationship between GPCC and SDGs is explained.
