developments and industrialization are increasing the pressure of human<br />
activities on the environment in Turkey, as elsewhere in the world. While<br />
growth in production and marketing activities requires additional use<br />
of natural resources inevitably, waste generated due to increased<br />
consumption is reaching threatening levels due to both their quantity<br />
and hazardous content. In parallel with rising environmental awareness<br />
worldwide, environmental protection has become one of the major priority<br />
items on policy agendas of countries and waste management occupies a<br />
key position among environmental protection policies. Since so many years,<br />
Anadolu Efes implements waste management, which has recently become<br />
a legally mandated requirement, based on sensitivity towards social issues<br />
and environmental awareness. In that respect, all staff and sub-contractors<br />
attend regular training sessions on waste management.<br />
Besides trying to reduce waste at its source, the Company also emphasizes<br />
reuse, recycling and recovery issues. Anadolu Efes has specified disposal<br />
methods for all wastes, complying with environmental and legal requirements.<br />
Relevant disposal methods are defined in the “Waste Management<br />
Procedures”. Waste reduction and recovery/recycling and disposal are<br />
conducted in compliance with the “Waste Management System” which is<br />
applied in all Company plants. The primary aim of the system is to allow for<br />
the reuse of wastes. Studies are carried out for the reuse of by-products<br />
and wastes generated during the beer and malt production process in the<br />
form of raw materials to other industries. Also, material use and wastage are<br />
monitored regularly to minimize waste generation.<br />
Waste management is one of the most important environmental issues for<br />
CCİ operations as well. In CCİ’s Turkey operations, the recycling rate of<br />
solid wastes generated during production is currently 93.48 percent. This<br />
performance makes Turkey one of the most successful countries within<br />
the Coca-Cola system. CCİ uses inventory lists of all materials used and<br />
waste generated in its production facilities in Turkey for waste-classification<br />
purposes. Wastes are sorted as paper, glass, metal, plastic and wood<br />
to minimize solid wastes and are later sent to recycling facilities. While<br />
the production levels have increased steadily, the amount of solid waste<br />
generated per liter decreased by 19 percent between the years 2005 and<br />
2008.<br />
In CCİ’s Turkey<br />
operations, the recycling<br />
rate of solid wastes<br />
generated during<br />
production is currently<br />
93.48 percent. This<br />
performance makes<br />
Turkey one of the most<br />
successful countries<br />
within the Coca-Cola<br />
system.<br />
