Durst Group awarded environmental certification

Durst has been awarded ISO 14001:2004 certification for its environmental management system by Quality Austria, a partner for organizations concerned with integrated management systems.  

The company says it is committed to the 16 principles of the ICC Charter for long-term, sustainable development, as well as to the principles of Agenda 21 and the Alpine Convention, both of which are important for the Tirol region, where Durst’s two main manufacturing sites are located.  

‘Durst considers environmental protection and the need to conduct an environmentally friendly business the central maxim for its corporate policy at all levels and targets continuous improvement of its environmental performance through its whole workforce,’ said the company in a statement.   

Durst has expressly agreed to not use any inks that contain VOCs and, as further protection of the environment, it reduces emissions and waste material to a minimum. It sees avoidance of waste a ‘higher priority’ than recycling and has trained its staff to avoid waste.
