SUSTAINABILITY

Our approach at a glance

70%

Share of wastewater recovered after treatment and reused in production

At source

Waste is separated at source and recovered through licensed companies

ISO 14001

Environmental management under the Environmental Management System standard

OHS

Legal compliance, timely risk analysis and continuous training

In all our production stages we are a company that has established the awareness of environmental protection as a principle and applies its requirements. Beyond our legal responsibilities, protecting the environment through treatment, recycling and the lowest possible consumption is our greatest endeavour.

We support recycling activities by ensuring that waste such as metal, paper, glass, electronic waste and batteries, PET bottles and plastics is reintroduced into the industrial production process with the help of various physical and/or chemical processes.

Waste arising from routine activities is generated at our facility. In accordance with the prepared waste management plan, waste is collected separately at source and held under control in temporary storage areas. Under contracts signed with licensed companies, this waste is sent to recovery/disposal facilities and removed. Hazardous waste financial liability insurance is taken out against any damage that may be caused to third parties during the collection, interim storage, recovery, reuse and disposal of waste and from accidents arising during the process. A Medical Waste Certificate, renewed every year, is held for the medical waste generated at the infirmary on our premises.

The packaging quantities of imported products and those placed on the domestic market are declared through the “Recovery Contribution Share Declaration”, and a fee is paid for the collection, recovery or disposal of these quantities on behalf of the ÖZEN İPLİK Group.

Recycling is defined as returning recyclable waste materials that are no longer in use back into production processes as raw material through various recycling methods.

By contributing to recycling we both protect our natural resources and, instead of producing new material, use the recyclable waste we already have — thereby conserving our limited natural resources, saving energy, freeing up space with less waste, and contributing to our economy. We also leave usable resources for the generations that come after us.

Because the number of physical and chemical processes applied during recycling is lower than in normal production, producing material through recycling provides significant energy savings. Using the natural resources the Earth provides to us efficiently is important so that future generations do not suffer resource shortages. The more sparingly we use the Earth’s natural resources, the less the generations after us will face shortages, and future generations will also have the opportunity to benefit from natural resources.

Collect

Recyclable waste is collected separately at source.

Separate

It is separated by type together with licensed companies.

Reproduce

It is returned to production processes as raw material.

The industrial wastewater generated at the ÖZEN İPLİK Group facilities is treated at the treatment plant and then processed at our wastewater recovery facility, where 70% of it is recovered. This recovered water is reused in production processes.

A ventilation system is in place for the emission sources at our facility, and emissions from the production areas are released to the atmosphere through a chimney. Uncontrolled emission release is prevented. In accordance with the Regulation on the Control of Industry-Sourced Air Pollution, measurement checks are carried out by environmental laboratories once every two years.

The cardboard boxes we ship our products in are made from recyclable material. After use they are separated at source and returned to recycling through licensed companies, reducing the consumption of trees and natural resources.

We avoid unnecessary packaging material and minimise waste at source. Our environmental management is carried out under the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard.
