EPA Information

Environmental guidelines, legislation and other information

A range of environmental management guidelines, legislation and other information exists which may be of relevance to flexo and gravure printers. Due to ongoing changes, specific advice with respect to environmental management and legal requirements should be sought from relevant federal, state and local authorities. A good place to start finding out about environmental requirements are these websites:

Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW)
Environmental Protection Agency (Queensland)
Environment Protection Authority (SA)
Environment Protection Authority (Victoria)
Department of Environment and Heritage

In February 2004 EPA Victoria published an Information Bulletin setting targets and timeframes for continuous improvement in the flexo/gravure printing industry in Victoria.  This document can be downloaded from EPA Victoria's website by clicking here.
