It is also a surprising fact that paper and printing industry ranks fourth amongst manufacturers in the amount of energy consumed. Paper productions, electricity used for factory operation as well as the actual printing process demands a lot of fossil fuel. These make printers a major consumer of natural resources. If the amount of natural resource consumption is not checked the world will soon be devoid of all its resources.

The main causes of production of these harmful volatile organic compounds are petroleum based inks, varnishe s, adhesives and laminates which are some essentials of printing houses. Bulk printing generally requires a lot of these resources and eventually causes the production of large quantities of VOCs. When released into the environment, these VOCs can effectively damage soil and groundwater. The VOC vapors cause air pollution when released into the environment. These in turn contributes much towards global warming and also cause a lot of health issues to human beings. One of the most common health issues it can cause is Asthma, other than several respiratory problems.
