6.1.2 Monitoring

Monitoring environmental performance helps manufacturers understand resource use and identify improvement opportunities. Manufacturers continuously measure material inputs, water and energy consumption, chemical use, wastewater quality, and waste generation. Digital sensors, meters, and production dashboards help identify inefficiencies, detect leaks, and monitor environmental KPIs. Companies such as Lenzing use real-time monitoring systems to optimize production and improve resource efficiency.

Ask your supplier: Which parameters are metered continuously, at what frequency, and can you share twelve months of water, energy and chemical consumption data for the processes you run for us?
