In an age when we all have to consider the environmental
implications of how we travel, what we buy and the products we use,
PMA are removing the headache for engineers and planners by
certifying their range as entirely safe to use and eco-friendly.
Under the EU REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of
Chemicals) directive, PMA confirms that none of its products,
neither those manufactured from plastics, nor those produced with
metals, are required to be registered. Asbestos free and with no
concerning or hazardous substances contained in any of the company’s
range, PMA’s products are non-toxic and safe for use in any
environment.
The company knows, however, that in many cases where materials
contain no contaminants or toxicity, products are often still
manufactured using processes which can cause a negative impact to
the environment. However, the Swiss company takes a good deal of
consideration over the development of each of the company’s systems
and components so as not to detract from their eco-friendly ethos.
PMA’s Quality Manager, Peter Schuster, says: “Taking care of the
environment is a fundamental element of PMA’s business policy. We
take all possible steps to ensure that our products and the
processes involved in manufacturing and distributing them do not
impact the environment and comply with all relevant legal
requirements. The raw materials used in our injection moulding and
extrusion processes are ecologically harmless.”
In an effort to guarantee their promise, an Environmental Management
System according to ISO 14001 has been implemented and is maintained
as part of PMA's Integrated Management System. In addition, the
company ensures the continuous monitoring of environmental issues
with the objective of consistent improvement concerning the
environmental impact of their activities, products and services.*
*Although the cable protection manufacturer has not sought
independent certification of this module to date, the company
readily invites its customers to audit their processes and efforts
regarding quality, environmental and operational safety.
