CARBON FOOTPRINT
As Ferco, we believe that; our steps towards our ecological and social awareness and our responsibility towards our society and our planet will determine our future location.
Main goals,
- Transferring a clean and healthy environment to future generations
- Efficient use of energy and natural resources
- Prevention of pollution at its source
- To increase the environmental awareness of our employees and society.
Energy Efficiency
To reduce our carbon footprint, we strive to be selective and make improvements in all the energy sources we use. We aim to reduce electricity, water and natural gas usage by measurements and improvement without decreasing efficiency. Some of our works include the motion sensor lighting, the transition to led lighting, transferring 50 degrees of water in the air compressors to the heating system with the help of heat exchanger, directing released heated air with the help of air duct as an additional heat source to use for heating of the steel service center. Starting from 2020, consultancy services are received from specialized companies and regular energy efficiency measurements are made. We aim to switch to alternative, renewable energy sources that are effective in line with these measurements.
Renewable energy sources are defined as "energy sources that can be present in the nature's own cycle the next day."
In the near future, we continue our efforts with the aim of meeting the energy needs of all our offices and production areas from renewable energy. Our development project, which we started in May 2020 and whose feasibly study is ongoing, is related to solar energy. When it comes to life, we will be able to supply all the electricity we need from this source, as well as transfer the surplus to the Organized Industrial network system to which we are connected.
Realized and Figures
In our Steel Service Center, with the improvements we have made to our production lines we recycle the papers that prevent them from being scratched between the stainless steel rolls coming from global producers and, we recover it by wrapping as reusable for to use it in subsequent productions..
40 mt
of paper annually,
1000
trees every year.
We purify the water in the water filters we use for our Grinding, SB and Polishing lines in a separate drain tank instead of draining during periods of periodic change and we use it again in our filter system.
10 mt
of water per month,
120 mt
of water annually and protect our water resources.
FERCO ÇELİK A.Ş., which aims to “be a part of the solution” within the framework of a sustainable approach, is committed to continuing its efforts to protect climate change and limited natural resources.
