INTRODUCTION
We are currently in a changing world where consumer society
it's the engine, because if consumption ultimately comes to a halt, or if it stops, it
stops the economy, and if the economy stops, it is the ghost of
stagnation for each of us, but that hyper consumption in turn
it is the one that is attacking the planet, and that hyper needs to be generated
consumo, cosas que duren poco porque hay que vender mucho y tenemos que
to have a civilization of use and throw, where we are in a vicious circle that
they are telling us the need to start fighting for another culture
That is why there has been a struggle for a comprehensive sustainable development where
norms and laws are implemented that ensure that each exploited product and
consumed more than bringing harm to the environment meets objectives
how to take advantage of natural resources in a balanced way without
contaminating it is why currently we talk about the systems of
environmental management to achieve that desired balance
It is of utmost importance that organizations build an adequate
planning and implementation of the different steps of the ISO 14001 standard,
in order to provide better performance to achieve production
cleaner. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop and implement a
policies and objectives that take into account legal requirements and the
research on environmental management systems.
Plásticos Forlán is a small company located in the
city of Valledupar, this offers the service of bags for nurseries. During
its production processes make use of resources
natural and at the same time generates substances or matter that produce
impacts on the environment, but we are faced with the joy that this small
the company does not generate much impact because the leftover material becomes
to reuse for the production of these same bags but has a greater
the problem is that energy use is excessive due to the machinery used
That is why the economic investment doubles, which is not insignificant in terms of profitability.
for its owners.
For this reason, the purpose of the research is to provide this company
a methodology that allows for environmental management and cleaner production
and efficient use of energy as a green alternative to achieve more
competitive, thereby generating greater profitability that will allow it to sustain itself in the
time. Considering that the implementation of a system in the
the company would reduce costs during the processes and at the same time improve
its competitiveness in the market
2. OBJECTIVES
2.1 GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Implement the guidelines of the NTC ISO 14001:2015 standard in the company.
of plastics Forlán making it a competitive company in the sector
based on an environmental management system.
2.2 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Conduct an initial environmental assessment to identify all the
aspects related to the activities carried out by the company that
may affect the environment
Diagnose internally and externally the plastic company
Design strategies that allow the company to improve its situation
competitive according to the diagnosis made.
Develop action plans according to the internal and external diagnosis
to carry out the development of the strategies.
Build management control indicators that allow the company
to carry out a follow-up on environmental management and cleaner production
as a green alternative
3. METHODOLOGY
The qualification and evaluation of environmental aspects and impacts that are
implementara is EEB S.A. ESP, which is used by the district secretary of
environment.
It consists of understanding the environmental importance by knowing different variables.
Importance of the impact I = A * P * D * R * C * L.
·Alcance(Calificación):
Evaluate the scope of the impact, taking into account:
1(Punctual): The Effect or Impact is confined within the area where it is generated.
Transcends the boundaries of the direct area of influence
It has regional consequences.
·Probabilidad(Calificación):
Rate the likelihood of occurrence of the impact, considering 1 (Low):
There is no possibility or there is a very remote possibility that it will happen.
There is a possibility that it will happen, or that the frequency of
occurrence be average.
10 (High): It is very likely to happen at any moment, or that the frequency
the occurrence is high.
·Duración(Calificación):
Rate the duration of the impact, taking into account: 1 (brief): The alteration of
Average does not last over time and lasts a very short period of time.
The alteration of the environment lasts only for a period of time.
moderate.
10 (permanent): An indefinite alteration over time is assumed.
Recoverability (Rating): When the impact is: When the impact is
Positive (+): it will be considered that this criterion represents a high importance.
When the impact is negative (-), rate taking into account:
1(Reversible): The effect can be eliminated through human activities
tending to the recovery of the affected resources.
5 (Recoverable): The effect can be reduced through control measures.
(Recover, reuse in the process); up to a certain standard.
10 Irrecoverable): The affected resources cannot be returned to their conditions.
originals.
·Cantidad(Calificación):
Rate the amount of impact, taking into account:
1(Low): Minimal alteration of the considered environmental factor or characteristic
5 (Moderate): When a moderate alteration of the factor is presented
environmental characteristic considered.
10 (High): It is associated with the destruction of the environment or its characteristics, with
future repercussions of importance.
Legislation (Qualification):
There is no related legislation.
10: It has applicable related legislation.
Significant: Impacts whose occurrence is certain and inevitable
— Not significant: Impacts whose occurrence is remote, although it cannot be
discard
The significance level established under this methodology is as follows:
> 125,000 to 1,000,000
Improvement, control, and monitoring mechanisms must be established.
> 25000 to 125000
The operational control must be reviewed.
LOW: 1 to 25,000
If must to do follow-up to performance environmental.
