This case' study highlights the. experience, of one wide-.web- flexographic
printer that successfully reduced VOC emissions and hazardous waste by
switching inks. In particular, this case study shows how a water-based
ink system and a water-based cleaning procedure can reduce VOC
emissions, hazardous waste, operating costs, and worker health risks,
and how the printer overcame challenges to print successfully with
water-based inks.                   ...                '      • .   .  .

This case study presents the steps, that three wide-web  flexographic
printers took  to reduce their  VOC  emissions. In particular,  it presents
the factors considered in managerial decisions- and how  the decisions
were implemented; and the two  methods tried: switching  to water-based
inks,  and installing an oxidizer.          •

 As one of the reinvention projects,  EPA is-working with-several states
 to examine -the feasibility of developing multimedia pollution .
 prevention-based permits for industrial facilities.  A multimedia  .
 permit,  broadly defined, is a single enforceable agreement that controls
 releases to multiple environmental media with permitted releases to each
 medium determined in a coordinated manner; as distinct from the usual
 practice of writing' separate permits for each'medium (air,, water,  and   •
