Description: Das Projekt "ECOINNOVERA-SuWAS (Sustainable Waste Management Strategy for Green Printing Industry Business) (Titre court : ECOINNOVERA-SuWAS)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Institut de génie mécanique (IGM), Groupe SCI STI DK SCI-STI-DK durchgeführt. The flexographic/gravure printing industry produces a significant amount of waste (61000 tons of ink waste paste/year in Europe). Until now, most of the conventional technologies to treat waste ink are based on incineration. Due to the substances of content ( solvents, pigments, resins), this generates a considerable environmental impact (CO2, nitrogen oxides, PAHs). The EU has recognized this problem and has introduced a new legislation: the revised Waste Framework Directive obliges to recycle at least 70Prozent of the industrial waste and to establish a sustainable waste management plan till the end of 2013. The 'Olax 22 process' is a new advanced waste ink recycling technology based on a closed loops system employing a distillation process. In order to adapt the technology developed in the laboratory at industrial level, the environmental, socio-ecologic and economic impacts have to be defined. Appropriate recommendations for a systemic implementation strategy and policy will also be developed. Aims: 1. General objectives of the project The aim of the European ECO-INNOVERA research project SuWAS is to evaluate the adequacy of the 'Olax 22 process' as a waste ink recycling technology and to elaborate a systemic implementation strategy and policy recommendations. 2. Objectives of the contribution of EPFL in this project The contribution of EPFL (through the group STI IGM LICP) is the realization of the environmental assessment of the ' Olax 22 process' using the methods of EIA (environmental impact assessment) and LCA (life cycle assessment).
