Dairy Industry
Presented by Chander Mohan

2. Introduction
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) story
began in 1946 when delegates from 25 countries met at the Institute
of Civil Engineers in London .
The objective of the meeting was to create a new international
organization ‘to facilitate the international the international
coordination and uniformity of industrial standards
It is an independent and non-Governmental organization
It was founded on 23rd February, 1947 and headquartered in
Geneva, Switzerland.

3. Some popular ISO standards
ISO Field Explanations
ISO 9000 Quality management Make sure products and services meet
customers’ needs
ISO 14000 Environmental
management
Improve environmental performance
ISO 3166 Country codes Avoid confusion when referring to
countries and their subdivisions
ISO 22000 Food safety management
system
Inspire confidence in food products
ISO 26000 Social responsibility Help organization to operate in socially
responsible way
ISO 31000 Risk management Manage risk that could be negative for
company’s performance
ISO 45001 Occupational health and
safety
Reduce workplace risks and create safer
working environments

4. ISO 14000
The main thrust for its development came as a result of the
Rio Summit on the environment held in 1992.
The ISO 14000 family of standards provides practical tools for
company and organizations of all kinds looking to manage their
environmental responsibilities.

6. What is ISO 14001?
ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed standard that sets out
the requirements for an environmental management system.
Specifies the requirements for an environmental management
system that an organization can use to enhance its
environmental performance.

7. Versions ISO 14001
First publication - ISO 14001: 1996
Revised publication - ISO 14001:2004
All ISO standards are reviewed and revised regularly to
make sure they remain relevant to the marketplace.
Latest publication - ISO 14001: 2015

8. Key improvements in ISO 14001:2015
Environmental management to be more prominent within the
organization’s strategic direction
A greater commitment from leadership
The implementation of proactive initiatives to protect the
environment from harm and degradation, such as sustainable
resource use and climate change mitigation
A focus on life-cycle thinking to ensure consideration of
environmental aspects from development to end-of-life
The addition of a stakeholder-focused communication
strategy

9. Environmental Management System
An environmental management system (EMS) is a management
structure that allows an organization to assess and control the
environmental impact of its activities, products or services.
An environmental management system helps organizations
identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues
in a “holistic” manner.

10. Aim of an environmental management system
A systematic approach to environmental management can
provide top management with information to build success over
the long term and create options for contributing to sustainable
development by:
•Protecting the environment by preventing or mitigating adverse
environmental impacts.
•Mitigating the potential adverse effect of environmental
conditions on the organization.
•Assisting the organization in the fulfilment of compliance
obligations.
•Enhancing environmental performance

11. Controlling or influencing the way the organization's
products and services are designed, manufactured, distributed,
consumed and disposed by using a life cycle perspective that
can prevent environmental impacts from being unintentionally
shifted elsewhere within the life cycle
Achieving financial and operational benefits that can result
from implementing environmentally sound alternatives that
strengthen the organization’s market position
Communicating environmental information to relevant
interested parties.

12. TO WHOM DO THE STANDARDS APPLY ?
ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organization, regardless
of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental
aspects of its activities, products and services that the
organization determines it can either control or influence
considering a life cycle perspective.

13. Benefits of ISO 14001
Improved environmental performance
Compliance with legislation
Cost saving, improved efficiencies in energy and
water usage
Reduce risk of pollution incidences

14. Benefits of ISO 14001
Improved bossiness focus
Improved brand image
Reduce risk of non- compliance with legislation
Improved profitability

15. Plan-Do-Check-Act model for EMS
The basis for the approach underlying an environmental management system is founded
on the concept of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA)
Establish environmental
objectives and
processes necessary to
deliver results in
accordance with the
organization’s
environmental policy.
Implement the
processes as planned
Monitor and measure
processes against the
environmental policy,
including its
commitments,
environmental
objectives and operating
criteria, and report the
results.
Take actions to
continually improve

Industry

17. Scenario of waste generated from dairy industries
The dairy industry is one of the largest sources of industrial
effluents in the world.
The dairy wastewater usually contains proteins, salt, fatty
substances, lactose as well as residues of chemicals used during
cleaning processes
Since the dairy industry produces different products, such as
milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, condensed milk, dried milk, ice-
cream, various types of desserts and cheese , the characteristics
of these effluents also vary greatly, depending on the type of
system and the methods of operation used.

18. Waste reduction was reported from an ice-cream factory after
implementation of appropriate measures, BOD was reduced by
63% with investment costs for the post-control waste water
treatment system dropping by 43%
Reduction of BOD

19. Reduction of risk associated with dairy chemicals
Retail samples of cow milk were collected in the UK, both in
winter and summer, and analyzed for ortho and non-ortho
substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The determined values varied in the range 2–25 ng/kg and
0.05–0.6 ng/kg for the ortho and non-ortho substituted PCBs,
respectively
It was concluded that no direct health hazard related to ortho
and non-ortho substituted polychlorinated biphenyls emissions
from the local waste incinerator should be expected
