All textile processes have an impact on the environment. The TEXTILE industry uses large amounts of natural resources such as water, and many operations use chemicals and solvents. All TEXTILE industries use energy, produce solid waste, discharge effluent and emit dust, fumes, etc to the atmosphere. Many TEXTILE industries are located in urban areas where environmental protection is a key issue.

What An EMS Involves

An EMS consists of the following elements: Commitment from senior management. Appointing/Identifying an individual to oversee the operations of the EMS. (EMR) Setting up an EMS team. Developing an environmental policy. Carrying out an environmental effects review and assessment of significance. (Aspect Identification) Identifying legislative requirement. Developing an action plan. Setting objectives and target as a part of an environmental management program. Assigning responsibilities. Writing procedures to control activities that have a significant environmental impact. Developing staff awareness and providing training. Establishing controlled system of records. Periodic auditing of the system to ensure it is operating effectively. Discuss the audit finding with top management. (Management Review)

Benefits of EMSCost Savings through:

Reduction in expenditure on raw materialWaste reductionDecrease in cost of waste disposalReduced energy consumptionsReduction of cost associated with emissions, discharges,

waste handlingCost effective to prevent pollutionNo of penalties by legal departments

20

Benefits of EMSImproved public image:

By certificationBy complying legal & other compliancesMore efficient resource usagePrivate sector competitionSafer product Improved corporate imageProof of social responsibility

According to EN ISO 14001: 2004 Standard:

The organization shall establish, document, implement, maintain and continually improve an environmental management system in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard and determine how it will fulfill these requirements

The Organization shall define and document the scope of its environmental management system.

23

According to EN ISO 14001: 2004 Standard:

Top management shall define the organization’s environmental policy.

a)Appropriate to nature, scale & environmental impacts or activities, products and services.

c)Commitment to comply legal & other requirements.

d)Framework for setting & reviewing environmental objectives and targets.

e)Documented, implemented and maintained.

f)Communicate to all within organization or on behalf.

g)Available to public.

24

Other Possible Considerations:

Sustainable Development

Use of best economically achievable technology to reduce pollution.

Process and product design to minimize environmental impacts.

25

Concluding thoughts:

Policy Should

Kept up to date

Communicate (notice boards, offices, reception area, main gate, ID cards, activity areas)

Available to public (website, newsletter, publication etc.)
