Hallam Plastics’
strategy and environmental policy has been created out of a desire
to reduce its impact on the world’s eco systems by minimising
waste and consequently maximising use of the resources that are
used in our manufacturing processes.
In line with this strategy we have identified the legislative
and regulatory requirements that apply to all areas of the company
and have formed close working relationships with the organisations
that enforce government and European legislation.
The policy requires Hallam Plastics to reduce all areas of waste
by the careful management of finite materials, thus reducing our
use of fossil fuels and increasing the efficiency of the business.
Where there
is waste due to the processes requirement we have taken steps
to ensure that
|
|
these
materials are recovered and recycled, in-house wherever possible
or if not, removed from site for recycling in a controlled waste
stream system.
The ISO 14001 environmental system has been designed to take into
consideration the requirements of ISO9001/2000 Quality Management
and Health and Safety Management.
As all three disciplines impact directly on the way the organisation
operates, cross referencing these important factors into one system
was the obvious route for the company to take.
The environment management policy of Hallam Plastics is a continually
evolving tool which encourages best practice in material requirement
and the management of finite resources. The long term benefits are
clear, but also better use of raw materials means less waste and
consequently lower costs. |
