Environmental management
Ecology & economy
We take very seriously our responsibility to our environment! The Environmental
Management System of Mack GmbH is certified to DIN ISO 14001.
We are wholly committed to acting in a responsible manner towards the environment.
Our goal is to continuously optimize all our recycling processes and work processes
in accordance with best practices. We are the view that, in a sensitive area
such as dismantling of old engine and transmission assemblies, particular attention
must be given to the environment. This is where the MACK PRODUCTION SYSTEM (MPS)
comes in: under this system, it is the duty of all in-house departments to define
and evaluate both general and department-specific environmental targets and
to implement these targets in co-ordination with Quality Management and company
management.
From a general viewpoint, reconditioning of transmissions and engines can be
considered as a major environmental project, both in terms of direct recycling
(recovery, cleaning and reinstallation of parts) and indirect recycling (recycling
of scrap parts as secondary raw materials).
At Mack GmbH, environmental management is a responsibility we embrace as a matter
of course.
Because:
- every employee pays attention to conservative use of all resources
- material cycles are kept as short as possible
- state of the art technology is used
- wastes are segregated at our recycling center and recycled externally as secondary raw materials
- ecological compensation areas and recreational areas cover nearly 40,000 m² of our plant grounds
In this way, we are able to continuously improve our environmental standards and thus maintain a healthy balance between ecology and economy. We vouch for this with our good name.
