TREATMENT METHOD AND TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR WASTE AQUEOUS DEVELOPMENT LIQUID, AND DEVELOPING SYSTEM

A treatment method for a waste aqueous development liquid generated through development of a flexographic printing original plate by using an aqueous development liquid, the method including: a first filtration step of filtering the waste aqueous development liquid at 5 C. or more and 48 C. or less through a microfiltration membrane to give a recovered liquid and a concentrated waste liquid; and a reuse step of reusing the recovered liquid for development of a flexographic printing original plate.
