Title StatementAssessment of environmental performance of a medium-scale furniture manufacturing firm in Pampanga, Philippines by Sarahme Corazon L. Bondoc, Felino P. Lansigan
Physical Description99-111 illustrations, tables
Summary, Etc.     The environmental performance of a medium-scale furniture manufacturing firm was assessed in Pampanga, Philippines. Following the ISO 14031 standard, the firm's management system and operational structure were evaluated for effectiveness and efficiency in relation to the environmental conditions within the plant site.      Results showed that the firm lacked an environmental management system although it maintained good general housekeeping and safety practices. Its manufacturing system generated solid waste materials such as spent containers and material trimmings, dust emissions mostly during sanding, and fumes from finishes and additives. Air analysis indicated the proliferation of nuisance dust and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the sanding and finishing departments.      Recommendations include designing and implementing a basic indicator-based environmental monitoring system to supplement the firm's good housekeeping practices and maintaining open spaces and green areas. However, the firm must continue improving its operation and facilities to minimize dust emissions and VOCs in the work area. (Author's abstract)
