| Résumé : |
We look at the carbon footprint (CF) of print products and the contribution of ink versus substrate. The ink’ s CF is, amongst other factors, a function of the coverage (COV) of the printed product. A basic analysis shows that ink and substrate contributions to the printed product CF are possibly of equal magnitude. Data available in literature were used for the quantitative analysis. The relevance of the resulting data and means for ecodesign are discussed. |
