| Background and objectives |
| |
| The Centre of Enterprise Information on Environmental
Protection (IBU) forms part of the ministry of economics of Baden-Wurttemberg.
It aims at creating an internet platform which provides information
on practical measures of environmental protection for entrepreneurs. |
| |
| The information provided by the platform
will be divided into three groups: legislative information, aspects
of interest for all sectors and measures as well as technology about
some specific sectors. |
| |
| One of the target groups is the printing industry. Other
sectors which will receive information on the platform are for example
garages, metal industry, carpentry, furniture shops and paint shops. |
| |
| |
| |
| Proceedings and expected results |
| |
| Based on Ökopol's extensive experience
with the printing industry Ökopol will collect and edit relevant
information on environmental protection at operational level for the
printing industry. |
| |
| This information will be presented in a practical
manner, clear and easy to understand. A balanced proportion of texts
and graphics will be emphasised. |
| |
| Innovative techniques and measures will be
presented for the offset printing and for the package printing sector
(flexographic printing, rotogravure) as well as for digital printing
and screen printing. This includes management information e.g. on
controlling and efficient inventory management as well as technical
measures. Examples: efficient use of materials, treatment of solvents,
reduction of emissions of volatile organic solvents. |
| |
| The internet platform is a fast updating
alternative to the former practice of publishing environmental sector
information in printed brochures. It will be possible to print the
information of the internet platform similar to a brochure. |
| |
| The ministry of economics of the state of
Baden-Wurttemberg plans to go online with the platform by summer 2005. |
