Elaboración del sistema de gestión ambiental en una empresa de soluciones integrales en etiquetado y codificación de productos

Abstract

Given the growing concern for adopting a sustainable development front in the industries, in addition to the need to demonstrate proper compliance with the Ecuadorian Environmental Regulations, this search for the most appropriate alternative for improving the environmental performance of companies has been generated. In recent years, due to the growth in the demand for products, industries have considered a proposal for the environmental management of their processes. The objective of this work is to elaborate the Environmental Management System in the product coding and labeling company, through the environmental diagnosis and the review of current regulations, in order to prevent, minimize and control the environmental impacts identified and evaluated. In order to achieve this objective, we initially chose to detail the company's operating processes in order to propose the corresponding Environmental Management Plans and Programs. In addition, we worked on detailing the generation of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste in each process of the production area. Finally, we sought to propose environmental indexes to control compliance with the proposed measures. The development of the Environmental Management System will enable the company to identify the critical environmental impacts resulting from its economic activity and thus encourage the implementation of measures that will be very useful in promoting an improvement in its environmental performance.
