We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ISO 14001",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Gas mixer is compact, quick and simple from
Witt Gas Techniques, which we summarised at the time by saying "The MM-FLEX compact gas mixer from Witt Gas Techniques is for use with technical gases such as oxygen and combustible gases, mixing quickly and simply".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Plastics film protects automobile bodies from
Novacel: "A reclamable opaque white plastic film protects automobile bodies and parts against external aggressions (such as acid rain, bird droppings, and tool marks) during assembly, transport, and storage".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Mecwash Systems
concerning its Aqua-Save Junior waste water processing
- take a look at Precision engineering firm cuts waste water cost
which says: "With costs of off-site waste water disposal rising, a precision engineering company invested in a system that dramatically reduced the volume of waste water and assists effluent management".
Take a look also at the news release from Unison, Engineering company gains ISO 14001,
as well as ISO 14001 for thermal processing and foundries from Wallwork Heat Treatment,
and Waste water treatment saves GBP 8000/year from Aqua-save Technologies.
