The printing and packaging sector is experiencing significant growth worldwide. In Vietnam, the industry has grown at an
average rate of over 20% in the past decade. However, it is crucial to note that the primary materials used in producing
synthetic printing inks are inorganic compounds, such as colors, resins, linseed oil, mineral oil, and various additives.

Regrettably, In addition to formaldehyde, this sector also releases gases of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such
