How Aliplast Saves €170,000 Thanks to ISO 50001

Sustainability at the Core

At Aliplast, achieving ISO 50001 certification was a natural fit with the company's broader sustainability strategy.

"With ISO 50001, you demonstrate that you take energy management seriously and embed it structurally within your organisation."

"We also had a head start: with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and other certifications already in place, we were familiar with how ISO management systems work. Taking the next step towards a certification specifically focused on energy management was therefore a logical progression for us," explains Ruben Snurawa, Q/ESG Manager at Aliplast.

More Than Just Software

With the large amount of data Aliplast manages, finding a future-proof solution was essential.

"We knew from the start that we didn't want to rely on Excel."

After comparing several Energy Management System (EMS) solutions, Aliplast chose Enelyzer by Enprove.

"The combination of consultancy and software was the deciding factor for us. We weren't just looking for a tool, but also for a partner who could help us make the most of our energy data," says Ruben Snurawa.

Greener, More Efficient and More Cost-Effective

Enelyzer brings together energy data from multiple sources into one central platform, giving Aliplast a clear overview of its significant energy users. This makes it an ideal tool for supporting compliance with ISO 50001.

"Our energy data is actively monitored. Deviations are detected more quickly, and promising energy-saving opportunities are identified, evaluated and implemented together with us. As a result, ISO 50001 has become much more than just a certificate we need to maintain every year."

This approach has delivered measurable results: Aliplast has significantly improved its energy efficiency, achieving savings of approximately €170,000.

These savings were achieved through various improvements, including:

• Optimisation of process parameters

• Optimisation of production planning, start-up and shutdown procedures

• Reduction of energy losses, including compressed air leaks

• Replacement of less efficient equipment, including ovens and cooling towers

• Optimisation of building heating systems

• Waste heat recovery from air compressors

Energy Manager as a Service

"The real added value of our collaboration lies in the continuous support provided by Enprove's experts. Our energy expert helps us prepare for our annual ISO 50001 audit, but also works alongside us throughout the year.

What other energy-saving opportunities can we explore? Which new energy regulations are relevant to us? And where can we improve further?

It's reassuring to know that someone with the right expertise is actively helping us move forward."

8 Reasons Why Aliplast Chooses Enelyzer

While some companies primarily implement an energy management system to meet compliance requirements, Aliplast demonstrates that it can also deliver significant added value.

Ruben Snurawa shares the eight key benefits of working with Enelyzer and Enprove.

1. Consultancy and Software Combined

For us, this combination was particularly important. We received support throughout our ISO 50001 journey as well as during the implementation of Enelyzer. There was always someone available who understood our operations and could help us find the right solutions.

2. Up and Running Quickly

Both the hardware and software still needed to be implemented. Nevertheless, the entire system was fully operational within six months, allowing us to start monitoring and analysing our energy data.

3. No More Complex Excel Files

With more than 100 metering points, working with Excel was no longer practical. Enelyzer brings all our data together in one system, eliminating manual errors and slow spreadsheets while offering more powerful analysis and visualisation tools.

4. You Can't Manage What You Don't Measure

All metering points in Enelyzer provide data at 15-minute intervals, with up to five years of historical data available. This makes it easy to identify trends and deviations while unlocking the full potential of our energy data.

5. The Right Insights for Every User

Everyone within the company uses Enelyzer in their own way. Management can easily track overall performance and annual figures, while operational teams can dive deeper into recent consumption patterns and deviations.

6. Support for ISO 50001

Enelyzer includes dashboards specifically designed to support ISO 50001. These make it easy to monitor energy objectives and Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs) in a clear and structured way.

7. Smart Real-Time Alerts

An unexpected consumption peak or energy use at an unusual time? Smart alerts immediately flag deviations, allowing us to take action quickly instead of reacting when it's already too late.

8. All Metering Data in One Central Platform

Different systems, measurement units or data sources? No problem. All metering data is integrated and centrally managed within Enelyzer.
