Applications of environmental management systems in building chemicals industry

Expeditious developments in science and technology, explosive population growth after the industrial revolution and inadequate environmental sensibility of manufacturers have yielded a series of environmental problems: the breakdown of the environmental balance on a global level, ozone layer destruction, global warming, acid rain, deforestation and desert expansion. They are large and urgent subjects that affect the planet. Environmental Management System is a systematic approach to dealing with the environmental aspects of an installation. ISO 14001 Environmental Management System is a guideline for organizations controlling and minimizing the environmental impacts.In this study, the benefits, properties and requirements of ISO 14001 EMS are analyzed. The steps of applications and implementations of an environmental management system on a building chemicals industry are explained. Mass balances of the production flow, waste costs per product are explained in factory.
