john crane Ibérica, multinational belonging to smiths group plc, and international manufacturer specializing in the production of systems of sealing engineering, returns to place the emphasis of its business strategy on environmental policy.
Following the introduction of the environmental management system (recently updated according to ISO 14001: 2004), the direction of John Crane committed itself to improve its performance in this area and to prevent the deterioration of the environment. With this objective, the company has worked for more than three years to achieve a reduction in the generation of waste at the same time, making significant economic investments in environmental prevention.
The generation of taladrina has been reduced to 10 per cent, after improving the process of decantation of the taladrina from chip production, through a covered container of double bottom and promote their reuse. For its part, the reduction of the contaminated rags (cellulose, gloves, rags, packaging spotted...) reached 60 per cent because of the awareness and commitment of the staff (rational). In the future, it is planned to further reduce this waste, using recycled rags, which will eliminate the generation of the waste in the most areas of the factory.
