WHAT IS EMAS?

EMAS means EcoManagement and Audit Scheme

EMAS aims to promote continuous evaluation and improvement in the environmental performance of participating organizations

EMAS does not replace Community or national environmental legislation

EMAS is an environmental management scheme for organizations operating in the European Union and

European Economic Area

EMAS brings together environmental protection and economic development

ADVANTAGES OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

COST REDUCTION:Improved operational efficiency (lower consumption of energy and raw materials)

RISK REDUCTION:Reduced likelihood of serious and costly accidents

COMPETITIVE BENEFITS:Improvement of the company’s image with consumers, regulatory authorities and

general public

ACTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:Advantageous for other purposes (for instance, implementation of quality

management systems)

IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEANER PRODUCTION (CP)

THERE ARE IMPORTANT CLEANER PRODUCTION OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FISHPROCESSING INDUSTRY THAT ONLY REQUIRE MINOR CHANGES IN THE PROCESS:

♣ TRAIN STAFF IN GOOD CLEANING PRACTICES

♣ REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO AVOID INEFFICIENCIES

♣ KEEP WORK AREAS TIDY AND UNCLUTTERED TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

♣ INSTALL DRIP PANS OR TRAYS TO COLLECT DRIPS AND SPILLS

♣ SEGREGATE WASTE FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING

♣ IDENTIFY AND MARK ALL VALVES TO PREVENT ANY INCORRECT SETTING





SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE WATER:

USE OFFAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS THAT AVOID OR MINIMISE THE USE OF

WATER

INSTALL DEVICES THAT CONTROL WATER FLOW FOR MANUAL CLEANING

USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER TO CLEAN SURFACES

PRE-SOAK FLOORS AND EQUIPMENT TO LOOSEN DIRT BEFORE THE FINAL

CLEANING

REUSE WASTEWATERS (EX.: THAWING WASTEWATERS FOR INITIAL

CLEANING STEPS)

WATER SAVING






THERE ARE ALSO SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REDUCE THE EFFLUENTLOADS:

SWEEP UP SOLID WASTE FOR USE AS A BY-PRODUCT

COLLECT OFFAL AND BLOOD IN A SPECIAL BIN

CLEAN FISH WITH VACUUM HOSES

USE DRY CLEANING TECHNIQUES (EX.: SCRAPING FLOOR BEFORE

CLEANING)

FIT DRAINS WITH SCREENS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SOLID WASTE IN

THE EFFLUENT




SOME EASY WAYS TO SAVE ENERGY:


REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO AVOID ENERGY INEFFICIENCIES

IMPROVE INSULATION ON COOLING/HEATING SYSTEMS

ELIMINATE STEAM LEAKS

TRAIN STAFF TO SWITCH OFF EQUIPMENT WHEN NOT IN USE

OTHERWISE USE SENSORS TO TURN OFF LIGHTS AND EQUIPMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY (CCC AND XPTO)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS THE MAIN KEY TO THE COMPANY’S DEVELOPMENT

THE COMPANY’S PREMISES MUST ADOPT WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICIES

ALL WORKING STAFF MUST ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING:

�RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT

�FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LEGISLATION

�SEARCH PERMANENTLY FOR INDUSTRIAL OPTIMIZATION

�REDUCE RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION

�REGISTER AND INVESTIGATE ALL ACCIDENTS AND COMPLAINTS

�ADEQUATE TRAINING FOR ALL WORKERS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED

�GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL NEIGHBOURS

�COOPERATE WITH ORGANIZATIONS COMMITED TO A HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL
