EMAS

EMAS stands for Eco-Management and Audit Scheme and is a European standard for environmental management systems. Kettelhack has been EMAS certified since 2017. The EMAS requirements include ISO 14001:2015 at their core, but go beyond this standard in some respects. In addition to the obligatory annual publication of an environmental statement, EMAS also considers all direct (and indirect) sources of environmental impact by a company.

"EMAS-registered companies make an effective contribution to environmental protection, save costs and show social responsibility. EMAS ensures that all environmental aspects from energy consumption to waste are implemented in a legally secure and transparent manner." (www.emas.eu)

Development of water consumption in m3

The high level of water consumption in production brings with it a corresponding volume of waste water. Compliance with the limit values from the Waste Water Ordinance is ensured by the indirect discharge permit. The daily control of the mixing and equalisation basin by our employees, as well as through the regular inspections by the responsible monitoring authorities, give us the necessary security.
