EMS & Subaru Of Mississauga…..

What Does This Mean?

EMS is the short form for Environmental Management System .

Prior to starting our EMS system we performed the following:

  • Recycled used oil, coolant, wooden skids, cardboard, batteries and tires.
  • Recycled some plastics & scrap metals.

Now we do this:

  • Recycle All Tires
  • Recycle All Used Oil
  • Recycle All Used Coolant
  • Recycle All Plastics where possible.
  • Recycle All Used Batteries
  • Recycle All Scrap Metals.
  • Recycle ALL Photocopier and Printer Cartridges.
  • Using environmentally friendly chemical cleaner for our shop floor. (Citrus based vs. toxic based)
    Installed a brake lathe air filtration system.
  • In the customer reception area we installed a dishwasher, fridge and ceramic coffee mugs to reduce the amount of paper coffee cups and plastic coffee creamer packages going to landfill. (They are not recyclable)
  • Installed storage pallets for all bulk chemicals storage in case of a spill.
  • All of our lights are now LED and Fluorescent-resulting in less electricity use.
  • We set yearly objectives and targets for environmental initiatives: reducing our use of electricity, natural gas and water.
  • Reduced by 95% the amount of garbage going to landfill by increasing recycling (to 85%) and in conjunction with a local waste processor, we are now incinerating our garbage for electrical regeneration.
  • Implemented a spill control plan as it relates to our bulk oil deliveries and used oil/coolant pick up.
