“Preventing problems before they happen” Clean production promotes environmental protection for printing companies

As the concept of green environmental protection becomes increasingly embedded in public consciousness, pollution control and environmental preservation have evolved into a shared societal commitment. Compared to the high costs and limitations of end-of-pipe treatment, the "prevention-first" approach not only effectively addresses major pollution issues but also saves energy and reduces consumption. This proactive management philosophy is one that deserves widespread promotion. Clean production is not a new idea. The origins of cleaner production can be traced back to the 1960s when the U.S. chemical industry began implementing pollution prevention audits. The term "clean production" was formally introduced in 1976, when the European Community proposed the concept of "eliminating the root causes of pollution" at an international symposium on waste-free processes and production. In April 1979, the European Community Council announced its Cleaner Production Policy, followed by three grants approved by the European Community's Environmental Affairs Committee in 1984, 1985, and 1987 to support the establishment of cleaner production demonstration projects. Since 1989, when the United Nations began promoting cleaner production globally, eight countries established clean production centers to advance this initiative. China officially included clean production as a key project in its "Agenda 21" in 1994. To promote cleaner production, improve resource efficiency, reduce pollutant generation, protect the environment, safeguard public health, and support sustainable development, China enacted the Law of the People's Republic of China on Cleaner Production Promotion in 2002, which came into effect on July 1, 2012, after a revision. The introduction of the new "People’s Republic of China Clean Production Promotion Law" in 2012 accelerated the implementation of cleaner production across industries. The National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Environmental Protection, and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued a notice announcing the approval (revision) plan for the national clean production evaluation index system. Among them was the "Printing Industry Cleaner Production Evaluation Index System," which was expected to be completed by the end of 2015 and jointly released by the three ministries. Clean production has transformed the traditional passive strategy of end-of-pipe control in environmental protection, encouraging companies to start from the source of production and implement full-process control. This approach significantly reduces pollutants during the production process. In the printing industry, clean production has become a crucial measure for implementing green printing. It reflects a company’s active social responsibility and plays a vital role in green transformation. By adopting cleaner production practices, enterprises can develop detailed strategies for achieving green printing goals. Beijing began implementing clean production for industrial enterprises in 2007. In 2012, the Beijing Daily Newspaper Group Printing Center became the first printing company in Beijing to pass a clean production audit. By 2013, companies like Hualian Printing, Lifeng Accor, and Shengtong Printing had also launched clean production projects. On April 1, 2015, the "Clean Production Evaluation Index System—Printing Industry" local standard was officially released in Beijing. Clean production is now being systematically promoted across the printing industry, particularly in cities like Beijing and Guangdong, where companies are entering a mandatory phase of cleaner production. In June 2015, an expert review team from the Shanghai Clean Production Promotion Office, Municipal Economic Commission, Pudong New Area Environmental Protection Bureau, and Pudong New Area Environmental Monitoring Brigade conducted a clean production audit at Shanghai Yanyin Company. Clean production is not just a business benefit—it is a shared responsibility. It is a long-term, continuous improvement process that requires sustained effort. To ensure its effectiveness, it must be treated as a strategic priority, standardized and institutionalized, helping enterprises achieve ongoing improvements in energy saving, resource conservation, pollution reduction, and operational efficiency. According to data, after completing the clean production audit in 2012, the Beijing Daily Printing Center saw an increase in output value by 23.52 million yuan, saved 4,000 cubic meters of water, reduced annual water consumption to 53,600 cubic meters, saved 255,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and cut annual electricity use from 4.992 million kWh to 4.737 million kWh. In Guangdong Province, companies such as Dongguan Jinbei, Heshan Yatu Shi, Shenzhen Zhonghua Business, and Shenzhen Jinjia, which have passed green printing certification, have also achieved both environmental and economic benefits. Currently, the promotion of cleaner production is gaining momentum, and enterprises face challenges such as high environmental protection costs and short-term profitability. To address these, the government has introduced subsidy policies to provide financial incentives and support. Since 2005, Beijing has completed over 500 clean production audit assessments. Preliminary statistics show that more than 8,000 clean production initiatives have been implemented, saving over 10 million tons of water annually, reducing electricity costs by 250 million yuan, and cutting soot emissions by over 1,400 tons. Enterprises that conduct clean production audits receive a subsidy of 150,000 yuan. Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," 249 units have received support for clean production audits, with a total of 25 million yuan allocated for audit subsidies. We firmly believe that the continued promotion of cleaner production will help printing companies fulfill their social responsibilities while boosting revenue, contributing to the sustainable development of China’s economy.
