Environmental Management in a French Plastics Manufacturer
Plastigray is a 110-employee plastic manufacturer. The sector is presently in a major growth phase. Environmental issues are seen as an important factor for the future development of the sector. Plastigray began to implement environmental management as a result of management commitment to environmental and saftey issues, legislative developments and increasing public awareness of the environmental impact of plastic products. Furthermore, the company believed that environmental management could yield significant financial benefits.
Initially an environmental self-diagnosis was conducted, allowing the company to make an estimation of its environmental performance, and enabling it to develop an action plan. Implementation focused on waste and energy management, and communication and training. The costs of waste management have been reduced by 20 per cent, and Plastigray is presently one of the leading companies in its sector in the field of environmental management. Employee participation has been a very important element in the company's environmental management strategy. Ultimately Plastigray hopes that its employees will become the main driving force behind future developments.
