Our waste comes mainly from production processes. We make efforts to reduce it by cutting down the consump- tion of materials and making investments to reduce its volume. Hazardous waste and waste that can no longer be processed is collected by external companies. In 2021, we completed an investment project to help manage sludge generated in the process of grinding metal materials at the Metal Production Plant. The filtra- tion method uses a flow-based system. The first stage of filtration involves running coolant through a magnetic filter, which retains approximately 30% of the recyclable material, while the remaining waste is deposited in a “tank” (decanter) with a capacity of 1 m 3 .

The coolant is recycled to be reused and the waste is disposed of. Before the introduction of the filtra- tion process, we disposed of 48,234 Mg, whereas after the change of the filtration technology we disposed of 18,025 Mg of waste. We managed to reduce the amount of waste by 62%. Installation after modification Magnetic filter installed Ferrous steel scrap after filtration Stage 1 – solution 100 Table of contents
