Many commercial printers are applying water based re-moist adhesives as part of their printing processes.
The interactive workshop, which takes place on March 15 at Oulton Hall in Leeds, will provide printers with an introduction to the project, as well as an opportunity to review specially developed sector waste reduction plans.
The Hazred workshop will consist of presentations including an introduction to the sector waste reduction plan, interactive group and question and answer sessions, as well as lunch and networking opportunities.
Companies that go on to take part in the project will receive free specialist on-site advice and guidance and will have access to the sector waste reduction plans.
The Environment Agency said that the project has strong support from the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF), the UK's principle printing business support organisation.
Dale Wallis membership director designate at the BPIF, explained: "Approximately 90 per cent of our industry is comprised of businesses with less than 25 employees.
Many of these businesses simply do not have time and resources to dedicate to environmental issues such as this.
I would encourage any small printing company concerned about hazardous waste to attend this workshop." Hazred Project Manager, Anna Pizzi, said: "The production of printing plates for lithography, flexography and screen printing mean that hazardous waste remains an issue for printers.
Hazred represents an excellent opportunity for businesses in this sector to improve their business efficiency, demonstrate good environmental credentials and make potential cost savings.".
