Task 2 normal ink vs vegetable ink

I've found that the method of printing with vegetable inks is considerably better for the environment as well as a lot more healthier for the people who have to be around the chemicals used in the 'normal' print process. previous printing techniques release at least 6 different types of chemicals into the environment where as vegetable ink release none. This has a big impact on ground level o-zone.

1. Design to minimise the ecological footprint of the product/material/service product, i.e. reduce resource consumption, including energy and water.

Normal print processes use at least 6 differant chemicals and releases them into the environment; vegetable inks don't.

2. Design to exclude the use of substances toxic or hazardous to human and other forms of life at all stages of the product/material/service product's lifecycle.

Because of the chemicals released, people who are surrounded by this are harmed. vegetable inks release none so its healthier for people who are surrounded by it.

3. Design to use locally available materials and resources wherever possible (thinking globally but acting locally).

Vegetable inks are easily produced and can be locally sourced, this also reduces the amount of pollution caused by trasportation.

4. Design to maximise a product/material/service product's benefits to communities.
the inks are cheaper to produce.

5. Design to create more sustainable products/materials/service products for a more sustainable future.
If this method made 'the norm' then it will perminantly reduce all thease chemicals being released into the atmosphire.
