Here at OKNOPLAST, we believe caring for the planet and running an efficient business go hand-in-hand. We are committed to implementing eco-friendly practices that reduce our environmental impact while lowering costs. Our recent efforts have allowed us to stand out as a leader in eco-innovation. Read on to learn more about the steps we’ve taken that make our company a trailblazer in the world of sustainability.
Energy efficiency is our priority
We have made great strides in improving energy efficiency across all our production facilities. By optimizing our natural gas usage for heating and partitioning off unused areas, we’ve reduced consumption by 50%! We also recover heat from our production processes to provide free space heating. Small changes like installing efficient doors, LED lighting, and motion sensors have significantly dropped our electricity usage as well. We even have sensors monitoring temperatures so we can fine-tune our energy use for the production facilities.
As the entire building industry leans toward energy-efficient design, investors are choosing efficient products to operate and produce in an environmentally friendly manner. Our efforts to dramatically improve our facilities’ energy efficiency make our company stand out.
The impact on the air
Reducing emissions is another top concern. We recently installed a catalytic converter furnace that eliminates 95% of the harmful fumes released during production. By containing chemicals and sealing our processes, we prevent pollution from escaping into the surrounding air and community. The dramatic drop in emissions is proof of our commitment to clean manufacturing.
Air quality is a growing priority for communities worldwide. By installing state-of-the-art emissions reduction technology and focusing on containing any pollution, we’re showing our dedication to environmental stewardship. Our neighbors can breathe easy knowing we’re working hard to care for the air.
Earning the Coveted ISO 14001 Certificate
Thanks to all our eco-friendly efforts, we’ve been awarded the renowned ISO 14001 certificate for our environmental management system. This honor puts us among the most sustainable companies in Europe, and we want to further implement the same production standards in the US.
We’re proud to have earned this recognition for our planet-friendly practices.
The ISO 14001 standard is the gold seal of approval for environmental responsibility. By implementing rigorous sustainability measures across all our operations, we’ve joined the ranks of the greenest companies around. Our customers can feel confident knowing we hold ourselves to the highest standards when it comes to caring for the Earth.
