Our Vision For The Environment

Utmost care is given to the use of environmental-friendly material and technology in new designed products, which are based on the approach of environment and sustainability, so that recyclable packages are preferred.

While continues its production activities, Pınar shows ultimate attention to the protection of the environment, to the efficient use of natural resources, to the prevention of pollution, to the reduction of waste, to the saving on the consummated water and energy, to continues renewal and development and to conforming to all regulations, laws and procedures related to the environment.

At the Pınar Süt  factories, the TS EN ISO 14001 Environment Management System is being used to protect the environment and minimise the damage given to the environment. For this purpose, Pınar has determined its performance criteria for the environment, created its plans for improvement and developed its targets. According to the environment management system, the inventory of impact on the environment in all units has been issued, so that the level of impact on the environment has been determined according to such inventories and the environment impact logs have been created. Further with the supplier evaluation system set up, the environment management systems and operations of the suppliers are graded. Pınar realises improvement works regarding the reduction of source consumption within the frame of its environment action plans and programs, which are created at the beginning of every year and followed up throughout the year.

98% of product packaging used by Pınar consisted of recyclable material.
For the purpose of saving on energy and reducing pollution, Pınar analyses primarily the values on the waste of energy and pollution in its production revision works. The water used in recyclable substances and production is being used during the recycling process after having undergone laboratory analysis. The rate of waste water, which is one of the most important parameters in terms of its impact on the environment has been reduced by 15,75% as a result of the projects realised.

Cooperation with ÇEVKO
Within the frame of the Regulations Related To The Control Of Packaging Wastes, Pınar cooperates on a contract base with ÇEVKO, Environmental Protection and Packaging Waste Recovery and Recycling Trust, which is the organisation authorised by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. ÇEVKO develops cooperation with local administrations and licensed companies for the collection of packaging wastes brought to market at the source of waste in the name of Pınar. In line with the regulations related to the control of packaging waste, the rate of packaging collected from the market was 39% in 2009.
