SO WHAT IS ECO-MAPPING?
Developed by European environmental expert Heinz-Werner Engel, eco-mapping is an easy, cost effective way for you to meet your business's environmental obligations and become more eco-efficient.
Eco-mapping is a visual process to identify the environmental aspects in a plant or industry quickly and simply. An eco-map is a diagram of the area's layout that shows the locations where attention is needed to improve environmental performance.
Eco-maps are useful because they permit fast, highly visual understanding of where problems or potential issues are within an business. Once completed, eco-mapping can serve as the basis for a wider environmental management system (EMAS or ISO14001).
