In accordance with European regulations, in order to determine the real and potential impact of packaging production on the environment, it is necessary to determine environmental aspects. Analysis of environmental aspects of digital printing on cardboard packaging takes into account the use of chemicals and energy resources, possible emissions into the atmosphere and waste generation.
To determine important environmental aspects, methods of expert evaluations and construction of a cause and effect diagram are used. Important environmental aspects are taken into account when determining the environmental goals and objectives of the enterprise, developing environmental programs, and a plan of measures for environmental protection.
The compiled balance sheet allows one to assess the true impact of environmental aspects and possible ways to improve the technology of digital printing on cardboard packaging. The ecological aspects of digital printing on packages are determined, and their ranking is carried out according to the impact. It is proposed to evaluate the importance of environmental aspects of digital printing on cardboard packaging by the sum of points according to the criteria: scale, strength and duration of impact on the environment. An Ishikawa diagram of environmental aspects and impacts of digital printing on packaging is constructed, as well as a diagram of material and energy flows, in accordance with the ISO 14040 standard. For digital printing on packages, two main environmental aspects are identified — environmental friendliness and safety of toners, as well as energy efficiency of printing equipment.
The obtained research results have practical value for companies that manufacture cardboard packaging using a digital printing method and solve the issue of reducing the negative impact of their production on the environment.
Keywords: ecological aspects, ecology of packaging, cardboard packaging.
