Dartex Coatings have a responsibility to protect the environment, we show examples of this commitment with:
-
The installation of thermal oxidisers to abate 99.8% of air pollution emissions from the plant, and an integral heat recovery unit to re-deploy heat to the coating ovens.
-
Reducing the amount of waste by maximising levels of recycling.
-
Re-use of raw materials back into the manufacturing process.
-
Minimising emission levels to land, air and water.
-
Improving the energy efficiency of sites, thus lessening the drain on energy resources.
-
An ongoing program to source environmentally friendly raw materials.
-
The education of employees in the environmental impact of our process, including opportunities of waste minimisation, energy and recycling management.
These policies are all managed through the operation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) in line with the requirements of ISO14001 (
view our Environmental Policy
) and are compliant with the relevant requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (UK) and the Clean Air Act (USA).
Continual improvement is achieved through an ongoing procedure of internal audits and the EMS annual review.
