Hosokawa Micron B.V. is certified in accordance with NEN-EN-ISO 14001:2015, including the current version of the underlying SCCM scheme. This certification requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System consisting of requirements to ensure that all processes related to the environment are routinely identified, assessed and managed.
Unique to the certification of Hosokawa Micron B.V. is that it covers not just some, but all environmental themes of ISO 14001: air, soil, energy, waste, water, noise and hazardous substances. Each of these themes is based on legislation and regulations, which are also translated into the company's environmental permit, since Hosokawa complies with the European IPPC Directive regarding pollution prevention.
Hosokawa Micron actively focuses on sustainability and circularity in multiple ways: both within our own operational processes and in the entire supply chain from supplier to existing and future customers. In this way, we contribute to reducing energy consumption and our ecological footprint, improving productivity, recycling raw materials, and reusing waste streams.
The objectives of our commitment include reducing energy consumption by installing solutions such as LED lighting and a central pressurized air system, and reducing our carbon footprint by modernizing the machine park, improving internal logistics, and redesigning our supply chain network.
During our ongoing R&D work, the environmental impact is a key consideration, in order to develop better and smarter solids processing solutions that help our customers achieve their own sustainable business goals.
