The major environmental challenges of our time are essential priorities for any company seeking long-term sustainability. In this regard, PROMETAL’s commitment to environmental prevention is both tangible and strategic.
As a key player in the circular economy, recycling ferrous waste from various sources, PROMETAL contributes significantly to environmental sanitation by removing naturally non-degradable residues from its surroundings. The company has launched an extensive equipment modernization program, replacing older furnaces with more efficient and energy-saving models. This technological transition, representing a substantial investment, demonstrates a firm commitment to reducing its carbon footprint at the source. Accordingly, the company operates integrated production systems that filter emissions and minimize particulate release, ensuring compliance with regulatory thresholds. By transitioning from an induction furnace to two electric arc furnaces, PROMETAL now uses the latest generation of industrial technology in the sector, implemented by the German global leader SMS.
PROMETAL’s commitment is also reflected in its policy for managing water resources and various types of waste. All sites operate with a closed-loop water system, recycling wastewater through a Water Treatment Plant (WTP), which is then reinjected into the factories’ hydraulic systems. In addition, quarterly analyses of water, soil, air, and oils are carried out by accredited laboratories to ensure the continuous integration of environmental considerations.
