A Global problem can only be tackled by setting and following global goals. Among with European Green Deal, we get our inspiration from the 17 points mentioned in the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development program. This is a holistic approach centered around being responsible to the people and the world we live in. We encourage ourselves to fight not only with the environmental issues but also poverty, inequality, and hunger that are actually all linked together. For this reason, we align and also underline our achievements and our goals with reference from one or a few of these 17 points.
|In 2023, our Kuzuluk facility met 80% of its electricity needs. The construction of our total 19,099 MWp ground solar energy plant is ongoing, with commissioning planned by the end of 2024. This will ensure that 100% of the electricity needs of both our Kuzuluk and Istanbul facilities are met from green energy sources.
High-temperature water coming out of dyeing needs to be cooled down before being transferred to the water treatment plant. For this treatment, we use regenerated waste water instead of clean water and save a serious amount of energy and water.
PLANT WASTE WATER RECOVERY PROJECT (ACHIEVED)
We saved 37,200 tonnes clean water by reusing our treated waste water and 80 tonnes / year of CO2 emissions decreased
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES (ONGOING)
Our goal for the end of 2024; 19,099 MWp electricity produced from clean energy 8403 tonnes / year CO2 emissions decreased
Our industrial waste from dyeing and finishing processes is treated
chemically and biologically to discharge in compliance with ZDHC criteria. ZDHC discharge compliance is checked every 6 months.
All waste generated by our operations is handed over to licensed firms for proper disposal, with efforts made to facilitate recycling.
Maybe not the word of the year yet but Rolefin, the unique sustainable yarn from Kets is a strong candidate for coming years. Brainchild and hard work of Kets R&D team, Rolefin is an outcome of a revolutionary method to turn textile materials and waste to elegant yarns. Produced with zero water and recycling various types of waste materials from the production process consumption Rolefin surely stands out among other sustainable yarns.
