What is environmentally responsible manufacturing?
Nowadays, enterprises are increasingly committed to limiting their impact on the environment. As awareness about the need to act now to limit the effects of climate change grows across a wide range of industries, companies are seeking to make sustainability central to their operations.
Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing (ERM) policies seek to ensure that goods and services are produced in a way that minimises both waste and pollution - a significant shift away from production methods of the past, which tended to focus on generating profits from available resources.
Responsabile production therefore encompasses wide range of issues, including:
- Seeking to reduce direct and indirect CO2 emissions at every stage of the manufacturing process
- Minimizing or eliminating waste and ensuring responsible waste management
- Sourcing supplies and raw materials of sustainable origin
- Ongoing monitoring of the impact of production sites on the local environment
- Making not only environmental, but also employee, health and safety central to operations
At AR Metallizing, we’re committed not only to supporting businesses with high-quality, fully recyclable materials, but also to building a sustainable global company that mitigates its impact on the environment wherever possible.
