Ecolabelling of printed matter - part II

Abstract
The results of a new life cycle analysis have changed the scientific basis of the criteria, which have been used up until now for the Swan ecolabel. Including chemicals to a much greater extent than in previous studies, the LCA now focuses much more on production and the use of chemicals in determining the overall environmental impact. The last part of the project examines experience from more than fifty Danish graphics companies' work with both environmental management and the Swan label.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
