ISO 14001
THE ISSUE
The ISO 14001 standard requires that a community or organization put in place and implement a series of practices and procedures that result in an environmental management system (EMS). The EMS based on ISO 14001 provides a framework to help these operations improve their environmental performance and make greater use of pollution prevention approaches.
Benefits of implementing the ISO 14001 standard include:
- Increased efficiency and potential cost savings when managing environmental obligations
- Promote predictability and consistency in managing environmental obligations
- More effective targeting of scarce environmental management resources
- Enhance public posture with outside stakeholders
THE SOLUTION
Sustainable Waste Solutions (SWS) offers a recycling and landfill-free solution to help companies comply with the ISO 14001 criteria and realize the benefits of ISO 14001. Our Energy-from-Waste (“EfW”) solution is ideal for communities and organizations that are seeking to be ISO 14001 certified. Waste materials that are recovered and used to generate electricity clearly meet one of the ISO 14001 standards. When handling residual waste, SWS reviews each company’s waste removal process, taking the time to understand our clients’ objectives. This allows SWS to identify additional recycling opportunities that will increase recycling volumes resulting in decreased waste volumes and associated costs.
