Objective

To improve the company’s technological process and reduce the negative impact on the environment.

Need

The company wants to increase production efficiency and reduce the negative impact on the environment. The company intends to introduce technological eco-innovations in the future, so it is important to assess the current and planned environmental impact, to take stock of the products and their production procedures, and to assess the raw materials used. In addition, an environmental management system is to be introduced. This project is being launched to reduce the company’s negative environmental impact through the production of innovative functional chemicals for agriculture. To this end, it is necessary to assess the current and planned environmental impact, to develop/update the company’s products throughout their life cycle and to introduce an environmental management system in the operation.

After the project has been implemented

The company will implement an ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system. This system will enable the company to increase its operational efficiency and achieve better environmental and social performance. A technological audit of production will be carried out. The audit will include a review of the company’s production process and environmental compliance measures, an audit of legal and environmental requirements, a review of production processes, material and energy balances, production planning, and an inventory analysis of product systems. Ecodesign of two of the company’s products will be implemented.
