VitrA is Leading the Charge towards a Sustainable Future through communicationAs we strive towards creating a sustainable world, it is essential to generate awareness and produce environmentally-friendly products while simultaneously promoting energy conservation, reducing emissions in logistics operations, and facilitating savings. To this end, we leverage our social media channels to initiate awareness-raising initiatives such as the Water Day Project and promotional campaigns to fulfill our vision of sustainability.
VitrA is driving change through water conservation: Treated Water Use Project paves the way for a sustainable future.Water conservation has long been a critical area of focus for our organization. In light of this, we have undertaken extensive research and analyses aimed at reducing water consumption.

Through the implementation of the Treated Water Use Project, we have managed to replace the utilization of freshwater in the raw material preparation department. Since the project's inception in 2007 with an initial volume of 30,000 m3, we have treated and reused 150,000 m3 of water in our production processes as of 2021, which amounts to a substantial 40% of our overall usage. Our goal is to further increase the ratio of reused water to 50% in the near future.
VitrA turns Waste Heat into Power: Our Efforts to Recover Heat for Energy ConservationAn exemplary initiative for energy conservation is the implementation of waste heat recovery values. Our innovative cooling systems enable us to capitalize on the heat that is typically dispelled into the atmosphere from chimneys, by using it to warm the water used by our producers. This heated water is subsequently directed to the relevant sections for recovery, while any surplus heat is channeled towards the boiler room.

Since the incorporation of economizer systems in 2016, a commendable total of 32.39 GWh of energy has been conserved through to 2021. Such a remarkable achievement constitutes a significant 71.9% of all energy savings since the introduction of economizer systems.
Small changes, big impact: how we're cutting cardboard and shrink-packaging usage for a greener futureAs part of our logistics operations, we have undertaken several material reduction initiatives, aimed at optimizing our processes with minimal material usage. Through the implementation of an innovative alternative box utilization scheme for products of comparable dimensions, we have been able to realize substantial cost savings and contribute positively to the environment. Our efforts have resulted in an average annual reduction of 50 metric tons of cardboard usage. Additionally, by reducing the thickness of our shrink films from 120 microns to 100 microns, we have achieved an annual average saving of 75 metric tons of shrink film material.
VitrA is taking action towards Zero Waste & Maximum ImpactWe define waste as "materials that have value but are located in the wrong place." Embracing the concept of "nothing goes to waste," we prioritize both internal and external industrial symbiosis activities to ensure that every item is recycled as a final resort.

Our goal is to utilize all of our output in both internal and external activities. As a result, in 2021, we were able to recycle 80% of our waste, including 8,800 tons of waste plaster molds, 34,000 tons of waste ceramic products, and 900 tons of core sand, which were repurposed in the cement sector.
VitrA is putting circular economy at the core of its manufacturing processWe aim to maximize co-living opportunities with business partners, minimize hazardous waste and turn waste into resources. While achieving this goal, we are developing various projects. In the reuse of brass waste project, we ensure that the waste generated during production is re-melted and used in our own production.

By reusing this material we reach to zero waste material in faucet production and we are saving 350 tons of brass per year which refers to 26% of all raw material usage.
Revolutionizing the process designThanks to elimination of the using wood separators from Concealed Cistern Project, our company has been able to redesign existing pallets to eliminate the need for wood separators. This change has resulted in a significant reduction of 160 tons of wood usage annually.

In our furniture products, by changing the size of slabs in new series ROOT, our scarp ratio has reduced from 16% to 9% which is equal to 90 trees per year. At the same time, we integrate cutting optimization for furniture products and only in 2021 our re-cut ratio has decreased 25%.
Striving towards 100% renewable energyOur primary objective is to enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable utilization of scarce resources. We are committed to mitigating the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions and decoupling our expansion from energy consumption.

In line with our vision, we intend to construct a solar power installation spanning 110,000 m2 by 2025. This facility will enable us to generate an estimated 26.5 GWh of renewable energy capacity, further advancing our sustainability goals. Upon achieving the desired levels, we will be able to source up to 37% of our electricity demand from solar energy, thereby reducing our carbon footprint and advancing our sustainability agenda.
Our commitment towards net zero: Investing in renewables to create a cleaner world.The significance of renewable energy in fostering a sustainable future is well understood by our organization, and we have taken concrete steps towards this end. Our endeavors include maximizing the benefits of renewable energy through investments in both on-site and off-site projects, and obtaining certification from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC). As of 2022, we have pledged to purchase solely renewable electricity, and we have established a goal of sourcing 35% of our electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
Sustainability on the move: maximizing container occupancy for a greener world.Given our awareness that emissions associated with our processes are not limited to our in-house operations, we have taken measures to mitigate emissions in our logistics operations as well. Specifically, we endeavor to decrease the number of transfers required by maximizing the occupancy rates of our containers and minimizing the frequency of partial loadings. By doing so, we are able to make meaningful progress towards our goal of reducing overall emissions.
