Do the zinc production plants pollute?
In the industrialised countries, production plants have to obey very strict environmental regulations. The French Umicore plants are all committed to meeting ISO 14001 standards: the Umicore plant in Viviez obtained ISO 14001 environmental certification at the end of 2003. The Auby plant obtained this certification at the beginning of 2004 and the Bray-et-Lû plant obtained it in December 2004.
