Waste reduction & product quality EMS target to reduce waste Foundry sand a dominant waste stream Thermal reclamation plant installed at Bergen foundry ~ 2006 Benefits Less raw materials needed ~ 50% reduction in landfilled sand ~ £350k savings/year Improvements to casting quality
Recycling & resource efficiency EMS target to increase recycling Metal recycling Manufacturing and scrap product Segregation – better financial return Move to closed loop recycling Sustainability of limited resources maintain continuity of access to specific materials Feedstock back into product
Energy saving & productivity Ceramic core manufacture Change from conventional electric to microwave drying oven 90% reduction in energy use 33% reduction in drying cycle
Using EMS to influence behaviour Energy saving (turn it off campaign) Cost saving Waste segregation Easier to recycle Lower disposal costs
EMS and influencing supply chain Increasing stakeholder expectations Journey – part of long term continual improvement Benefits Increased awareness of environmental issues Risk management (e.g. REACH) Business requirements HS&E policy for suppliers Technical issues e.g. hazardous substance management e.g. packaging requirements Support Supplier environmental workshops Awareness materials
