SUCCESSFUL RECP MEASURES
A wide variety of RECP improvement measures was
suggested to the companies over the course of the direct
engagement phase. Many measures were then implemented
by the companies in close consultation and cooperation
with the local counterpart.
On the following three pages, we would li
some of the measures that we have implem
ACIDLOOP project. Many more good and b
be found in the Good and Best Practice
Measures in the Metal Finishing Sector.
KEY RESULTS OF THE DIRECT COMPANY SUPPORT
Showing the impact of the ACIDLOOP approach was very
important from the beginning of the project. During the
first assessment of companies, the ACIDLOOP consultants
therefore collected data on what amount of resources the
company was using, and how much energy and water it
consumed. This consumption data was correlated with
the production output.
At the end of the project period – after the RECP measures
identified had been implemented by the companies – the
consultants again measured the consumption of input materials
per output produced (specific consumption). The ACIDLOOP team
is very proud to have achieved significant savings in specific
consumption of input resources across all regions. As can be
seen in the figure below material, energy and water consumption
decreased on an average by more than 20% in all regions.
Before: Steel wires were used for hanging the metal parts to be plated in
the electroplating bath. Problems associated with this approach included:
― Steel wire was consumed during plating.
― Loading of parts to be plated was time consuming.
― The orientation of the parts could not be controlled.

Location: Faridabad | Process: Electroplating
After: The ACIDLOOP team suggested the replacement of all steel wires
with reusable jigs. Benefits from this approach included:
― The time required for loading was reduced which
increased the productivity.
― The orientation of parts could now be controlled which
improved the quality of the plating process.
