| description | A survey of ISO 14001 certified and non-certified
wooden furniture manufacturers in Malaysia revealed that
the low cost-benefit factor was the main reason that deterred
the adoption of the standard. However, the adoption of ISO
14001 resulted in the production of green furniture, the use
of environmental friendly materials and technologies, retraining
of the workers and waste reduction. Consequently,
the adoption of the ISO 14001 environmental management
system resulted in a more cost-effective wooden furniture
production, contrary to previous perception. |
