Band production with environmental responsibility
Our goal is to develop our processes so that we burden environment as little as possible. This means minimized pollution, cleaner air and tighter waste water control. In our production we aim at low energy and reduced water consumption. Our environmental commitment can perhaps best be seen through practical measures such as changing oil heating to wood chip pellets, switching fluorescent lamps to LED lightning and by investing into machinery which use less water and electricity. At present INKA is in the process of obtaining ISO 14001 environmental certificate due to be granted in the spring of 2020.
