Environment

Environmental concerns are inevitable throughout the manufacturing process. Many of regulations are in place to make sure we all run the most environmentally sound practices at all times. Working with organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and local EPAs, the Fibre Box Association, with the help of its Environmental Committee, approaches how to interpret these regulations.

The group continues to monitor changes to Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Department of Homeland Security Anti-Terrorism standards and keep you informed of their potential impact.

Other top environmental concerns include:

Air Emissions Tracking
The FBA Environmental Committee recently completed work on the Air Emissions Tracking Workbook, designed to help member companies in tracking air emissions for corrugators and box plants.

The workbook, in Excel format, allows tracking for one facility at a time. It is customizable and adaptable for each participating location. The workbook is separated into the following categories:

Annual Summary Pages

PM and VOC Summary Pages

Detailed Data Entry Pages for VOC and HAPs

Starch Data Entry Page

Baler / Cyclone Data Entry Page

Fuel Consumption Data Entry Pages

*This workbook is being provided by the FBA to its members as a resource only. This workbook does not guarantee compliance with applicable laws and regulations and should not be viewed as a substitute for your company's own environmental compliance policies and procedures. Each member company should look to its own compliance department or legal counsel to ensure that it is following all applicable laws and regulations.

Storm Water Regulations in California
Each year, contaminated storm water run-off contributes to the pollution of our environment. Industrial materials find their way into the storm water or snow melt, negatively affecting people, animals and other wildlife. Therefore, industrial facilities under certain Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes must follow environmental requirements to prevent such pollution. Regulations, such as the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SW3P), require plant facilities to take various steps towards protecting storm water from contamination.

The Fibre Box Association and AECOM, a global provider of environmental and energy development services to industry and government, have teamed up to bring you the California Group Monitoring Program and well as storm water prevention kits.
