• What are the specific provisions of the Climate Protection Act for industrial companies?
• What impact does the production of printed products in heatset web offset printing have on the environment?
• Where do CO2 emissions occur during the operation of web offset printing plants?
• Intergraf's recommendations for calculating CO2 emissions.
• Weighting of CO2 emissions in connection with web offset printing.
• Ecology and economy.
