ISO 14001 / Management Review

Hello there,

During my management review for ISO 14001:2015 for the EMS which I have created, the top management have requested that I merge the register of significant aspects with the internal and external issue/risks and opportunities register. I don't believe I can do this, because then it means I have to quantitatively analyse every internal and external issue/risk and opportunity.

Is there a way in which I can merge these documents, or am I better off leaving them as two separate documents?

Is there a standard specifically designed for Stage evaluations and effectiveness scoring?

Is paper recycling a requirement in iso 14001?

Is it a SHALL vs Should, May or Can as described in section 0.5 of the International Standards EMS - Requirements with guidance for use?

If it IS a requirement, where would it be found? I am trying to explain to my boss that we NEED to recycle as part of ISO 14001. He says if it is NOT a SHALL statement, then we don't have to recycle paper.
