SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
We accept responsible behavior towards humanity and nature as a goal and seek continuous improvement.
Our goals; This includes reducing pressure on natural resources, reducing emissions and energy consumption, increasing use of renewable energy sources, better eco-compatibility of our raw materials and internal processes, as well as our products used by our customer. Many of our products offered today can help reduce operating costs, prevent or reduce waste generation, save energy and reduce the need for disposal and reprocessing.
WE TAKE GREAT STEPS TO ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
We are aware of the sensitivity of our customers to protect the environment. For this purpose, we work carefully on high quality and durability while offering products and solutions that make a difference.
Waste and hazardous material reduction, product innovations reduce energy use, can create different products with a lower carbon footprint and lower solvents.
Low solvent/VOC: Volatile organic components (VOC) are used as solvents in the paint industry.
These components cause chronic health problems and adversely affect the ozone layer. For this reason, many countries have regulations on the subject.
Harmful Substances: Replacing hazardous raw materials with less harmful alternatives. The new raw materials do not reduce the overall safety, health and environmental characteristics of the products.
While working to reduce and replace the number and amount of hazardous materials, it also ensures that high product quality and reliability standards are met.
Energy saving: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY USE.
Low carbon: THE MAIN PURPOSE: REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT.
The carbon footprint is the environmental impact of our activities.
It is a measure of the effects on the environment, especially on climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation in our day-to-day lives. A carbon footprint is a measurement of all the greenhouse gases we individually produce and is available in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (or kg). Less waste: Our goals that apply to all of our operations, including waste in our offices as well as in our production facilities, are "Reduce", "Reuse" and "Recycle". The reduction and disposal of chemical waste is an important focus area.a
