The 21st century will be an era of environmental protection. The printing industry is no exception. In the second half of 2000, Japan's printing industry had 18 companies that had passed certifications related to environmental management standards. At this moment, the ISO 14000 series of environmental management systems has received much attention. The original ISO 9000-certified company will have a faster pace of certification if it applies its technological basis to compete for ISO 14001.
Let's introduce what exactly ISO 14001 is and what characteristics it has. We will examine the reason why it is so rapidly popularized.
First, the background of the birth and the ISO 14000 series The Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992. Based on this meeting, the ISO 14000 series was started. This high-level summit adopted the “Leo Declaration†on the environment and development. It seeks long-term and unremitting efforts for such issues as human population explosion, global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, reduction of tropical rain forests, desertification, and marine pollution. Environmental improvement has been achieved and consensus has been reached.
In June 1993, the International Organization for Standardization established the Environmental Management Standardization Technical Committee ISO/TC 207, which officially incorporated environmental management into the international standardization track. ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards came into being in this situation. The ISO/TC 207 technical committee issued five international standards such as ISO 14001, ISO 14004, ISO 14010, ISO 14011, and ISO 14012 on September 1, 1996 and October 1, 1996 respectively.
II. Content of ISO 14001 ISO 14001 is the “Guidance and Guidelines for Use of Environment Management Systemâ€. Its overall purpose is to support environmental protection and prevent pollution, and to coordinate the relationship between environmental and social needs and economic needs in order to provide effective environmental management. Guarantee.
In order to understand the ISO 14001 standard, you may wish to understand the definition of the preface and terminology of the ISO 14001 standard. Now look at the content of the preamble:
1 The success of the system requires the commitment and participation of top management.
2 with other standards, especially with the ISO 9000 quality system has a common management system principles. An existing management system that is consistent with the ISO 9000 series can be selected as the basis for the environmental management system.
3 It is necessary to stipulate in the environmental policy that it is committed to complying with relevant laws and regulations and continuing to improve.
4 This standard is not used to create non-tariff trade barriers.
5 Within the scope of socio-economic permit, a series of environmental protection and anti-pollution measures should be systematically adopted and implemented, and the best available technologies should be adopted.
If you look at the definitions of terms, you can get a specific explanation. For example, the so-called "continuous improvement" refers to an improvement process that aims to achieve overall improvement of environmental conditions and strengthen the environmental management system along the environmental policy. In other words, the object of continuous improvement and continuous improvement is the environmental management system. In addition, in order to achieve an environment-improving project called “Environmental Goals,†it is based on the environmental policy that stipulates the overall environmental goals that the company must achieve, and it is best to have quantifiable goals.
III. Effect of introducing ISO 14001, one of the “Environmental Management Systems†standards ISO 14001, as one of the environmental management system standards, is an effective means for management because:
1. For the improvement of the environment, due to the introduction of ISO 14001, the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Action cycle; means the cycle of quality management practice sequence) is steadily implemented so as to promote continuous and effective environmental improvement activities.
2. As a result of the introduction of an environmental management system that saves energy, reduces waste, and improves the product's pass rate, the result is a reduction in production costs.
3. As the awareness of the importance of the environment has increased, it is inevitable that the understanding of competitive conditions has also increased.
4. For managers, the business activities can be re-evaluated. With the introduction of the ISO 14001 PDCA cycle, corporate environmental improvement activities have been re-evaluated. As an opportunity, managers develop the habit of reassessing business activities, which in turn produces a virtuous circle effect.
5. It is possible to establish a highly transparent management system, clarify the goals and procedures, clarify the responsibilities and rights, improve the employees’ sense of reform and create a sense of trust, and increase the trust of the entire society. .
6, In addition, with the strengthening of business systems, the popularity of green scheduling, the environmental management system is also effective as a principle between companies. As long as you are good at applying it to design and development, you can play a role in the development of personalized products.
Fourth, the benefits brought to the printing industry In large-scale web offset printing workshop and gravure printing workshop, must be equipped with exhaust treatment equipment and other anti-pollution measures. In the small-scale sheetfed offset printing workshop, due to the advances in the surface treatment technologies of machinery, ink, and paper, the proper arrangement of operating procedures and environmental considerations should be sufficient. In the future, even if the printing plant lacks environmental awareness, as a machinery and ink manufacturer, it should also seek to improve the performance of printing machinery and ink from the perspective of environmental protection. For example, aqueous inks have been substituted for solvent-based concave inks, and future-oriented ink improvements are still in progress.
Why do we still need to further understand the ISO 14001 environmental management system in the future? Not to mention that the improvement of the global environment involves the survival of all human beings. With the introduction of ISO 14001, continuous improvement of the environmental management system will no doubt bring certain benefits to every company. E.g:
1 Reduce costs (saving energy, saving resources, reusing waste materials, changing raw materials, improving processes, and effective operations), and reducing scrap.
(2) Avoiding dangers (Emergency events due to exhaust, drainage, odor, noise, waste, etc. are avoided. Even if emergencies occur, they can be controlled to the lightest degree).
3 Improve management efficiency. Because ISO 14001 is aimed at activities of all departments within the company, the activities of indirect departments are also subject to the restrictions.
4 Increased opportunities for business development (such as the development of green products).
In addition, the image of the company itself will undoubtedly increase; as long as the effective use of this system, the concept of the entire company staff update, will have many benefits.
