All about ISO

Here, via the links to the left, is your introduction to quality, environmental, and safety management standards as applied in scrap recycling organizations.

Welcome!

Many major scrap consumers – mills, foundries, etc. – "encourage" their scrap recycling suppliers to "go ISO."

Generally they ask the scrap provider – whether it’s a scrap processor, scrap dealer, or scrap broker – to implement an ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental), or OHSAS 18001 (health/safety) system, and get certified.

These Standards are written at a very generic level. They apply to any kind of business, not just scrap recycling. Adapting them to the scrap recycling / processing world can be tricky. And the steps your firm must go through can be very labor intensive and time consuming.

But many of the recycling industry's leading firms have done it. Some on their own. Others with expert outside help.

Led by recognized international authority Rob Kantner, Kantner & Company is expert on scrap recycling quality / environmental / safety systems management. Our practical approach guides your scrap recycling firm all the way to being fully prepared for registration audit. Our track record of success is unparalleled.

Best of all, you end up with a system that fits your unique business. One that you own, understand, and operate entirely without outside aid. It not only helps you demonstrate excellence to consumers and regulators – it also helps you run your business better.

And your system has unquestioned national and international credibility with customers, consumers, and regulators. By implementing ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and/or OHSAS 18001 systems, you join many hundreds of thousands of organizations around the world at the leading edge of quality, environmental, and safety management.

We look forward to experiencing excellence with you.
