MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS POLICY

As Kipaş Holding companies, while rapidly progressing toward becoming a global company, we have also set it as our goal and duty to hand over nature, entrusted to us by our children, without polluting it.

Our Kipaş Kağıt operation uses 100% waste paper, which has no standalone value as raw material, bringing packaging waste back into the national economy and helping protect 6000 hectares of forest each year.

  • In the production of packaging paper materials, to combine the latest technology with the right materials and to produce innovative, economical and unique solutions by adhering to the system and to national and international standards and regulations at every stage of our projects,
  • To understand customer needs and expectations in the best possible way, produce solutions without compromising quality, deliver on time, remain open to innovation at all times and continuously improve at every point,

  • To carry out environmental activities and production in accordance with environmental management system standards,
  • To increase employee satisfaction by organizing training programs within the scope of continuous improvement for employee development, increasing quality, energy and environmental awareness, preventing resource waste and ensuring occupational health and safety,
  • To prevent environmental pollution and reduce pollution at its source,
  • To continuously improve our efficient energy use and greenhouse gas emission reduction performance,
  • To minimize the amount of energy consumed without hindering economic development and social welfare and without reducing quality and performance, through the utilization of energy waste, increasing energy efficiency and preventing existing energy losses,
  • In our office and factory practices, to continue working toward a zero accident target by ensuring the occupational health and safety of customers, visitors and employees,
  • To ensure continuity by establishing the necessary infrastructure and security measures for uninterrupted operation in order to preserve the confidentiality of information belonging to our customers, employees, company and stakeholders, keep this information continuously up to date and accurate, and ensure that only authorized persons can access the requested data.
  • It has adopted the principle of becoming a company accepted as a reference for the sector by continuously improving its performance.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

The treatment plant was designed to treat wastewater with a flow rate of 13,500 m3/day and is planned to be operated in stages.

Wastewater entering the treatment plant originates from three different sources: wastewater generated by production, wastewater from the power plant and domestic wastewater.

Treated wastewater is then discharged into İmalı Stream, which later joins the Aksu River.

The facility is built on an area of approximately 8,500 m2 and performs physical, biological and advanced treatment.

  • Units providing physical treatment: Static screens (8 units), primary settling tanks (3 units)
  • Units providing biological treatment: Anaerobic reactor, aeration tanks (4 units), final settling tanks (3 units)
  • Units where advanced treatment takes place: Flocculation and flotation units
  • Auxiliary units: Belt filters (2 units): They carry out sludge dewatering.
  • Biogas scrubber and flare stack: They remove H2S from the generated biogas and ensure its disposal.
  • Biofilter: The unit where unpleasant odors generated in the treatment plant are collected and disposed of.
  • Heat exchanger and cooling tower: They bring the wastewater to a suitable temperature for bacteria.
  • Wastewater entering the treatment plant, which consists of the units above, is treated with an average efficiency of 99%, reducing it below the discharge limit values specified in the regulation.
  • WASTEWATER INLET VALUES / FINAL VALUES: TSS=3000mg/L / TSS=25mg/L, COD=6000mg/L / COD=70mg/L, BOD=2500mg/L / BOD=25mg/L, settleable solids=780mg/L / settleable solids=0.5 mg/L
  • There is also a laboratory within the treatment plant where the analyses required for the facility can be performed.
