Environment & OHS Policy

The Environment and OHS Policy adopted by TEKNOROT is based on respect for people and the environment in which they live. To ensure a safe and healthy working environment, everyone is obliged to do what is necessary within their own authority. One of our most important goals is to protect all our employees and the environment we live in against possible risks of our activities.

• To minimize the waste generated from production and other activities in every field and whenever applicable. To carry out studies to prevent pollution caused by waste and to ensure the protection of biodiversity and the ecosystem.

• To respect the living rights and interests of the local people who may be affected by production and other activities and to comply with legal requirements by showing due diligence to protect certain property and land rights.

• As a requirement of forest protection, to avoid the supply of materials obtained from deforested areas, and to support the improvement of forests to prevent increasing resource scarcity.

• To respect the right to life of all living beings, and to support animal welfare policies, legislation, and standards, recognizing improved measures at national and international levels.

• To consider environmental impacts in investment and process designs, to apply technologies that generate the least waste and use natural resources effectively, to continuously improve environmental and energy performance by using sustainable resources, to prioritize the use of renewable energy, and to reduce the impact on climate change.

• To identify and reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions generated from our production and activities and released into the atmosphere, and to pay attention to the selection of environmentally friendly and low‑carbon emission materials and technologies, considering the role and impact of all inputs in climate change.

• To identify, assess, and take necessary measures against hazards to protect our employees and the environment from dangers, and to protect against accidents and health deterioration in every possible environment.

• To share the status and results of activities concerning the health and safety of our employees with them, and to ensure the active participation of employees in determining and implementing necessary measures and improvement activities.

• To strictly comply with all applicable national and international laws, regulations, and other requirements regarding Environment, Greenhouse Gas, and Occupational Health and Safety.

• To organize training and awareness activities to raise awareness of our employees and stakeholders on issues related to Environment and Occupational Health and Safety.

Environmentally Friendly Practices

Teknorot integrates the principle of sustainable production into all processes, from design to the final product. In product development and process design, the company aims to reduce waste at its source through environmentally friendly material selection, efficient production techniques, and optimization studies. Continuous improvement activities in cold forming, hot forging, machining, welding, and coating processes minimize raw material losses. In packaging and logistics, recyclable materials are preferred, and solutions that reduce the carbon footprint are implemented. With this approach, Teknorot not only manages post-production waste but also minimizes environmental impacts across the entire value chain, starting from the design stage.

Scrubber System

In the cathodic electrocoating (KTL) process, closed-system tanks and automatic conveyors enable environmentally friendly and safe coating without manual intervention. The coating tanks are connected to a scrubber system, which removes pollutants by washing chemical vapors with liquid. The extracted vapors are purified in the scrubber unit, and the gases released into the atmosphere are no longer harmful. This ensures both workplace safety and environmental protection.In the cathodic electrocoating (KTL) process, closed-system tanks and automatic conveyors enable environmentally friendly and safe coating without manual intervention.

Waste Heat Recovery Facility

During the drying stage of cathodic electrocoated parts, heat energy is generated in the oven unit. The unused portion of this energy, referred to as “waste heat,” is recovered by circulating it with water in the recovery unit. The heated water is then transferred to the natural gas boiler pre-heating tank. This process reduces energy costs and lowers emission values released into the atmosphere.

Reduction of Emulsion Waste

Lubricants and cutting fluids used in industrial production are often introduced into the system as emulsions, which are mixtures of oil and water. The resulting emulsion waste poses environmental risks. At Teknorot, innovative treatment methods significantly reduce the amount of emulsion waste. The water content of the waste is recovered and reused, contributing to both environmental protection and operational efficiency.
