Environment

In the first quarter of 2004 Accoat was presented with the environmental certification No. 120 and Appendix No. 1. The certificate confirms that Accoat complies with the demands in DS/EN ISO 14001.

This way Accoat has committed itself:

• At the least to observe legislation in environmental matters

• To reduce the pollution of the environment as much as possible by implementing more
  environmentally friendly products and processes

• To decrease the consumption of raw material and to reduce the consumption of energy per
  working hour spent

• To diminish the waste per cent per working hour spent

• To make sure that not recyclable waste is delivered for destruction in an environmentally
  reasonable way

• To currently improve environmental matters, to educate and motivate employees to act in
  accordance with the environmental policy

Fluoroplast

Nature is not polluted by fluoroplastics because it is a solid substance and as such not
biodegradable. Acid gases produced during the combustion process at high temperatures
are neutralised in waste incinerating plants. Using fluoroplastics coatings the strain - if any
- on the environment is insignificant – particularly in comparison with the reduced pollution
through the reduction in the use and expense of detergents
