Practical example
A medium-sized company in the window industry was able to save annual costs of €80,000 with the introduction of an environmental management system, and this was due to the
- reorganization of waste management (30,000.- €)
- analysis and optimization of energy and material consumption (50,000.- €)
In addition, a defective and unchecked oil separator was found, which would have caused high fines and, in the event of damage, large damage claims.
