Agenda1. Improving printed products to be “Eco-conscious” by quantitative
method, not by qualitative method• Definition of Eco-conscious products• Case study of plastic document file for Eco Product 2012• New idea to promote printed products
2. Reforming current calculation standard (Product Category Rule) to be wide-spread for SMEs
• Promotion of new calculation standard for printing• Accuracy of existing calculation standard for printing• Magnitude of calculation accuracy for new/existing standards
3. Utilizing “Printing Goes Green CLOUD (PGG-CLOUD)” to quantify environmental impact by the scale of CO2
• Primary data and secondary data collection• Actual operation• Next step to evaluate by different impact categories

1. Eco-conscious printed products
Definition of Eco-conscious printed products:The printed products which have “shining- star quality” in terms of environment related issues backed by quantitative assessment (not by touchy-feely opinion, but by numerical numbers)

2. Reforming current PCR (cont’d)Points of modifying current PCR
I. Calculation method is standardized to “cumulative”
II. Modeling for thickness of ink/varnish
III. Electricity usage = Rated output × fixed loading factor
IV. Loading percentage of truck is fixed at 50%
V. Calculate incineration by coated layer of paper only
VI. Printed products only by waterless printing method
VII.Avoid “scenario setting” of key items
