Directa Plus Achieves ISO 14001:2015 Certification

Further independent recognition of environmental credentials of proprietary production process

Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a producer and supplier of graphene-based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, is pleased to announce that it has received ISO 14001:2015 certification following an assessment of its environmental management system. 

The accreditation covers the Company's production and commercialisation of pristine graphene nanoplatelets and graphene-based products of different morphologies. It also covers the research and development of new industrial applications of graphene, and the development of eco-efficient production processes and products of graphene.

ISO 14001:2015 is part of a family of standards developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation. It specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organisation can use to enhance its environmental performance. The certification confirms that environmental impact is being continuously monitored and improved. 

Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive Officer of Directa Plus, said: "We are pleased to have been accredited with this ISO standard, which serves as excellent recognition of our eco-friendly credentials. We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and pride ourselves on developing graphene-based products that are natural, chemical-free and sustainably produced. This certification, together with the ISO 9001 accreditation achieved earlier this year, demonstrates to our customers that we work in a safe, reliable, respectful way."
