Printing

Printing is a chemical intensive industry that produces many types of wastes. Regulated wastes and emissions from commercial printing operations can include liquid and solid hazardous wastes, air emissions, and waste water. Printers also produce non-hazardous solid waste (such as scrap paper). These wastes can be associated with the four general process steps: imaging, pre-press, press (including the make-ready step for lithographic printing), and post-press.
