82.000
EUR. , in

� in Forno Canavese plant, 28.56% of the total
asbestos-based roof covering has been removed (1365 sq.m)
� employees environmental training: year
2002, 245 hours
(93.87% presence), year
2003, 135 hours (91.22% presence)
� remarkable decrease in production of both dangerous (-66.06%,
-43532 kgs) and non-dangerous (-19.43%, -6977 kgs) wastes
� in
2003, Forno Canavese plant was able to drastically
reduce the use of industrial water, by an amount of 9836 cm,
or �69.4%)
� though man-hours in 2003
were notably increased (+21.94%
or +33512 hours), usage of chemical substances and
consumable materials was basically unchanged compared with
2002
� no environmental emergency occurred
� refrigerators of machines bought since
2002
are equipped
with eco-friendly gases
� other activities aimed at reducing the whole environmental
impact: new dust suction-treating equipment for FA-BO shot
blasting machine in Forno; noise reduction treatment of the
centralised oil moisture suction equipment in Rivara plant;
new ammonia pipeline for gas nitriding furnace in Forno; new
noise reduction integral cases for screw press Vaccari and
shearing machine FICEP 560 in Forno; revamping of dust
treating device at OMSG shot blasting machine.
� in-progress activities: resin insulation of forging
presses floor tanks, study for possible replacement of
current electrical condensers with PCB-free new devices.
� short term activities: revamping of evaporative cooling
towers, new plantwide water pipelines for water of
industrial usage (aimed at eliminating possible leakages)
Here below the most important results achieved:
� Investments: Year 2004
Euro 33.140,
Year 2005
Euro 60.750,
Year 2006
Euro 188.000
� Environmental training for our employees:
Year 2004:
209 hours (presence 94,97%),
Year 2005:
97 hours (presence 97,47%),
Year 2006:
150 (presence 94,48%)
� Production of dangerous wastes:
Year 2004:
30.650 Kg. (0,95% of total),
Year 2005:
35.055 Kg. (1,09% of total),
Year 2006:
29.947 Kg. (1,00% total), that means an almost flat trend,
related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of non-dangerous wastes: Year 2004: 3.115 Kg.
(0,10% of total), Year
2005:
3.604 Kg. (0,11% of total),
Year 2006:
2.718 Kg. (0,09% of total), that means an almost flat trend,
related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of �urban-like� wastes:
Year 2004
7.034 Kg. (0,22% of total),
Year 2005:
11.379 Kg. (0,35% of total),
Year 2006:
9.280 Kg. (0,32% of total), that means an almost flat trend,
related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Production of materials for recycling:
Year 2004:
3.169.930 Kg. (98,73% of total),
Year 2005:
3.155.947 Kg. (98,44% of total),
Year 2006:
2.860.233 Kg. (98,59% of total), that means an almost flat
trend, related to the variation of the yearly production.
� Water utilization: Year
2004:
19.081 cm,
Year 2005:
6.339 cm (-66,67%),
Year 2006:
3.580 cm (-43,52%), thanks to change of old water pipes of
the supply consortium, maintenance of evaporation towers,
new cooling system for induction hardening water, and
closed-loop refrigeration device for hydraulic press at
Forno plant.
� The use of two evaporation-concentration machines for
recycling of process fluids is going on with full
satisfaction. Water-graphite solution at Forno plant and
cutting solution at Rivara plant are treated after use. This
treatment allows the creation of a smaller quantity of
wastes, and the usage of less water, as the recycled water
is used in the closed-loop cooling systems of both plants.
�
Years 2004, 2005, 2006:
actions for pollution prevention: resin coating of
under-press tanks for forging and coining presses was
completed (q.ty 5); 6 capacitors at Forno plant, potentially
filled with PCB were disposed of; anti vibration dampers
were installed under new automated 2500 tons. press and
Vaccari screw press, with previous realization of leakproof
tanks.
� Years 2004, 2005, 2006:
actions for noise and pollution reduction: 4 out of 5
suction-filtration systems were replaced at Forno plant
forging presses; billet loader at the new 2500 tons. forging
press was equipped with noise reduction cabin; same cabins
were repaired and obtimized at shearing machines Ficep C140
and 280, and all other forging presses; a new trouble
detection system was installed in the
evaporation-concentration machine (Forno plant); screw press
Vaccari was moved farther from civil homes north of the
plant and mounted on vibration reduction device.
�
Years 2004, 2005, 2006:
other actions aimed at optimizing resource utilization:
power factor correction device at Forno plant, its use was
resumed; old heating system at Rivara plant (diesel air
heating machine) was disposed of, and superseded by new gas
heating machines with higher efficiency and lower emission;
replacement of old, leaking water pipes of industrial water
supply.
� Cooling systems of machines purchased in the 3 years of
reference are filled with ozone friendly gases.
� The plan of putting every machine of Rivara plant on
leak-free tank was completed; also, every machine is
connected with the centralised air suction system, or
equipped with its dedicated device.
� In the 3 years timeframe, despite fluctuations in activity
hours, utilization of raw materials, chemicals and
substances was aligned with the production amount.
� No environmental emergency occurred (like fires, leakages
due to accidents or machines failures, gas leakages,
explosions, failures in suction/treating devices, etc)
