Sustainability and environment

The Meta-Zel Sp. z o.o. Pressure Casting Foundry is highly focused on sustainability and topics of environmental protection. The operated facilities and systems are designed to eliminate environmental impacts of the contaminants generated by processing, and to minimise consumption of natural gas and electrical power.

The company operates the following equipment and systems:

PRODUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT
100% of waste material from processing is recycled or disposed of by specialist contractors.

ATMOSPHERIC GAS AND PARTICULATE EMISSION CONTROL
The air treatment system operated at the production hall includes a system for cleaning air from contaminants generated by casting machines and melting furnaces.

ELECTRICAL POWER CONSUMPTION CONTROL
The company minimises electrical power consumption by operating machines with an energy conservation program. The applied technologies reduce the power consumption to the essential minimum. Heat recovery systems are used to minimise the consumption of electrical power and natural gas. The cooling systems of machines and induction furnaces, combined with heat recovery, heat process water and hot domestic water. The general ventilation system of the production hall runs on the air waste heat to heat the supplied air.

NOISE EMISSION CONTROL
Advanced ventilation and dust removal systems minimise indoor and outdoor noise emission levels.

SOLAR ENERGY FOR AUXILIARY HEATING OF HOT UTILITY WATER AND PROCESS WATER
The solar energy used by the company is a renewable and unlimited source. The advanced solar energy system reduces the costs of water heating and hence minimises the consumption of natural gas.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION OF STAFF
The company continuously raises the employee awareness concerning sustainability and environment. The training program allows us to execute our environmental policy in line with applicable requirements.
