3. Environmental IssuesEnvironmental Issues

4. Environmental issues can be divided intoEnvironmental issues can be divided into
three categories:three categories:
1. Air pollution
2. Water and land pollution
3. Resource Depletion

5. AIR POLLUTIONAIR POLLUTION
Global warming
Thought to be caused by the release
of
greenhouse gasesLeads to increase in global
temperature
leading to:
- Rise in sea levels
- Changes in weather patterns
- Spread of disease

6. Leads to increase in cases of skin
cancer
Ozone Layer Depletion
Caused by release of ozone depleting
substances
AIR POLLUTIONAIR POLLUTION

7. AIRAIR
POLLUTIONPOLLUTION
Acid Rain
Caused by release of gases from
burning
fossil fuels & vehicle emissionsDirectly toxic to plants
Can pollute rivers and lakes
Can cause structural damage to
buildings

8. Water &Water &
Land PollutionLand Pollution
Pollutants include heavy metals, oils,
chemicals & pesticidesMilk, fruit juice, alcohol, cream & yoghurt
can
be more destructive than raw sewage or
toxic
chemicals if entering a surface water drain
Water
Pollution
Polluted water will be unsuitable for human
consumption and unable to sustain life

9. Land
Pollution
Fly tipping
Land pollution can also cause water
pollution as toxic material leaches
through
to water underground.

Land
filling
Spillage of hazardous liquids

10. Industry contributes to over 74% of waste
in the U.K
400,000,000 tonnes of waste disposed of
EACH
year in the U.K.
Land PollutionLand Pollution
We can all help to reduce this by effective
waste management:
- Reduction, Reuse and Recovery

11. ResourceResource
DepletionDepletion
Fossil fuels are depleted at a rate that’s
100,000 times faster than they’re formed
It’s estimated that we use 10 tonnes of raw
materials to produce 1 tonne of product
On average each person in the UK consumes
60
to 80 tonnes of material each year

15. WasteWaste
Waste can be definedWaste can be defined
as:as:
‘‘Any materials, substances or productsAny materials, substances or products
which the producer discards or intends to,which the producer discards or intends to,
or is required to discard’or is required to discard’
Trelleborg produce a number ofTrelleborg produce a number of
wastes which can be categorised into:wastes which can be categorised into:

General waste

Special waste

16. WasteWaste
Non Hazardous waste:Non Hazardous waste:

This is all household, commercial & industrial
waste

It must be handled, stored & disposed of in
the correct manner

Examples of non hazardous waste on site
include:
- paper/cardboard (recycled & rebated)
- plastic (recycled & rebated)
- metal (recycled & rebated)
- wood (recycled)
- office waste (recycled)
- cured rubber (recycled)
- uncured rubber (landfill)

17. WasteWaste
Special Waste: Hazardous WasteSpecial Waste: Hazardous Waste
Special waste is controlled waste of any
kind
that’s dangerous or difficult to treat, keep
or
dispose of, i.e waste that may cause harm
to
human health & the environment
It must be handled, stored & disposed of in
the correct manner

Examples of Special waste on site include:
- Sump waste
- Spent oils
- Chemical waste
- Empty chemical containers
- Used spill kit products

18. Water UseWater Use
During 2018 this site used 11,957 cubic metres of
water
The average UK household uses 164 cubic metres of
water in a year

19. Environmental ObjectivesEnvironmental Objectives

Objectives have been set by the
Management team

These are displayed within C.M.S and
on the notice board in the employee
entrance

For 2019 the main objective is to

REDUCE ENERGY and REDUCE
WASTE

Reducing both of the above will also help to
reduce costs !!!

21. What you can do to minimiseWhat you can do to minimise
the impactthe impact
Solid Waste:Solid Waste:
Print on both sides of paper
Ensure all waste that can be recycled
goes
into the CORRECT bin
This should help us reduce our
YEARLY cost of waste disposal
of £100,000 +

22. What you can do to minimiseWhat you can do to minimise
the impactthe impact
Energy Use:Energy Use:
 Turn off all lights when not needed
 Turn off equipment when not in use
 Report any leaks from
compressed air system & dripping
taps
 Set your PC screen to energy saving

23. What you can do to minimiseWhat you can do to minimise
the impactthe impact
Water use & discharge to sewer:Water use & discharge to sewer:
Turn taps off fully
Report leaks
Dispose of waste responsibly

24. What you can do to minimiseWhat you can do to minimise
the impactthe impact
Chemicals:Chemicals:
Report leaks
Read the label &
use according to instructions
Don’t throw unwanted chemicals
down the drain /sinks
Only use the specified amount of cleaning
chemicals
Store them correctly
Make up required quantities only

25. What you can do to minimiseWhat you can do to minimise
the impactthe impact
Facts to remember:Facts to remember:
Do you know that an Oily rag is now
Hazardous Waste
we send to waste over £40,000 of rubber per
year.
If we have a spill down the drains –
The fine could cost us £20,000 + from the
Environment Agency

26. WHAT`s NEXTWHAT`s NEXT
We need everyone to be environmentally
aware
Do your bit in helping the environment
Follow the procedures
Its your future and your families future
that you are protecting
If you see a spill, contain it with the
spill kit and then tell your
Supervisor or HS&E Manager
