„Environmental comparision of the transport of waste

Explore the environmental impact of waste transport modes to Thun's incinerator plant based on ISO standards. Learn how ISO 14031 aids in evaluating and improving environmental performance, with a case study on waste transport methods and their implications. Discover the role of indicators in Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE) and how organizations can utilize data for effective environmental management. Gain insights into the comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) of waste transport by railway and lorries. Join us for a comprehensive analysis and conclusion on sustainable waste transportation practices in the city of Thun.

  1. ISO/TC 207 Member workshop: Environmental Performance Bangkok June, 25 th, 2012 „Environmental comparision of the transport of waste to the incinerator plant in the city of Thun (Switzerland) (Transport by train and by lorries), based on ISO 14031 and ISO 14040“ or The central role of ISO 14031(Environmental Performance Evaluation) in the context of the ISO 14000 standards PD Dr. Peter Gresch, SNV, ISO/TC 207, SC 4 Switzerland

  2. Content Part 1: Fundamentals of ISO 14031 Part 2: The example of the comparision of the transport of waste by railway or by lorries Part 3: Conclusions

  3. Part 1: Fundamentals of ISO 14031

  4. ISO 14031; Introduction, item 4: Data and information generated by EPE can be used by an organization to implement other management tools and techniques in a coherent, transparent and cost effective way, for example standards in the ISO 14000 series such as: Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001), Environmental Declarations (ISO 14025), Environmental Labelling (ISO 14024) and Life Cyle Assessment (ISO 14040, 14044). .... ISO 14031 may also be used independently.

  5. ISO 14031; 4.1.2 Indicators for EPE Two categories of indicators for EPE: Environmental condiction indicators (ECIs): > provide information about the condition of the environment which could be impacted by the organzation. Environmental performance indicators (EPIs): a) Management performance indicators (MPIs): > provide information about management efforts to influence the environmental performance of the organziation‘s operations. b) Operational performance indicators (OPIs): > provide information about the environmental performance of the organizations operations.
