In every phase of our activities such as obtaining raw
materials, production and services, Bursa Cement Factory
is following the principle of sustainable development
through environmental measures involving the most
efficient use natural resources supported by
technological innovations. In the production lines, all
the op erations are executed in a closed system. Clinker
is stored in a closed concrete silo and the material
which is collected from the filtering systems is
transferred back to the system again for preventing the
dust emission in the dust sources. 4 electrostatic
precipitators and 85 bag filters are installed in Bursa
Cement Factory.
TS-EN-ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certificate was
received from the Turkish Standard Institute (TSE) in
2005.
The waste licence certificate was received for firing waste oils as
an alternative fuels in 2006. Later, contaminated waste,
paint sludge, plastic wastes etc. were added to the
scope of the licence.
Bursa Cement Factory contributes to the environment for protection
of natural resources and elimination of wastes without
harming by means of firing of solid and liquid wastes.
The different wastes which are called waste oil, contaminated
waste, paint sludge etc. have been fired in Bursa Cement
Factory Rotary Kiln in comply with legal requirements
since 2006.
 The amount of fired waste reached 12.000
tons at the end of 2009. By means of firing waste
materials, Bursa Cement Factory also provides a part of
necessary requirement of energy.
The additives which are used in cement like trass, fly ash etc.
contributes to the environment via substitution of
clinker by additives.
Standard cement, also known as Portland cement, is made by heating
limestone or clay to around 1,500 °C. The processing of
the ingredients releases 0.8 tons of CO2
per ton of
cement.As it is known, trees
are great absorbers of carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere. As this reason, it is important for Bursa
Cement Plant to afforestation always.
