Waste Management, Zero Waste and Circular Economy
At Çimsa, we aim to rethink the way in which we use materials to contribute to a Circular Economy and reduce environmental impact by increasing the use of secondary materials, strengthening collaboration in the construction value chain, and minimizing all types of waste to move to zero waste across all operations.
We consider waste management in parallel with the butterfly model that shapes our circular economy practices, and we adopt the prevention, recycling and recovery of waste that may occur during our own operations.
We use systems that comply with the zero waste principles in our facilities, and we carry out projects to prevent and reduce waste generation. We keep our own internal dynamics under control and contribute to our waste reduction targets. We support our development areas regarding the Basic Level Zero Waste Certificate that all our facilities have; hence, we carry our targets to a higher level.
Our goal to contribute to the circular economy also represents a tremendous business model in its own right. Our understanding of being a solution partner for sustainable cities and living spaces, which is included in our sustainability strategy, aims to reuse the concrete wastes generated during the life cycle of our products, evaluate alternative raw materials and by-products from other industries, and use domestic and industrial waste resources that we can provide energy recovery.
