Apodaca, NL, Mexico – 5 May 2015 – Demonstrating Ice Industries’ continuous drive towards manufacturing excellence, the Apodaca (Monterrey), NL facility announced it has achieved ISO14001:2004 certification. The ISO14001:2004 certification demonstrates that Ice Industries Mexico employs an effective environmental management system, and demonstrates Ice’s commitment to both the environment and its customers.

ISO14001:2004 defines the criteria for an organization’s environmental management system. It can address a multitude of areas, including a reduction in energy usage, recycling resources ranging from metal to water, minimizing pollution of any kind, etc.

Stated Antonio Garza, Ice industries Mexico’s Quality Manager; “For Ice Industries Mexico, the ISO 14001 facility certification will support our 2015 Environmental goals:

  • Improve natural resource efficiency;
  • Provide cleaner production processes;
  • Prevent air, water and ground pollution;
  • Reduce waste of natural resources;
  • Conserve, recover or recycle resources, where economically feasible;
  • Minimize health and safety risks to people; and,
  • Dispose of waste safely and responsibly.”

Some examples of the facility’s recent environmental improvements are:

  • Reduced air, water, ground, and noise pollution which could adversely affect our neighbors;
  • Optimized a safe environment for Ice’s employees and guests by further adjusting noise, temperature, and illumination levels;
  • Increased recycling of all possible materials;
  • Organized and documented all waste materials; and,
  • Trained employees to further reinforce Ice Industries’ environmentally aware culture.

Many of the improvements help not only the surrounding area, but also enable Ice Industries to continue offering their customers the best value possible, particularly those requiring a certified environmental management system.
