Compliance with environmental legislation and regulatory requirements is the cornerstone of our commitment to minimize our environmental footprint across our business activities, ranging from product development and manufacturing to distribution and waste disposal. Our production facilities are ISO 14001:2015 - ISO 9001:2015 - ISO 45001:2018 certified. All facilities comply with the Environmental, Health and Safety Policy. Politek is committed to providing a healthy and safe working environment for our employees.
We give importance to reduce water use in our Politek production facilities and to have water treatment facilities in the organized industrial facilities where our factories are located as an environmentalist approach. We are committed to continuous improvement in water management with the goal of reducing water use by 10% by bringing it in line with production by 2030.
Politek is focused on following generally accepted waste management practices. We strive to reuse the product or sell it as a useful product first. After sales, we manage activities to recycle or recover, convert waste into energy, incinerate, treat or use another useful disposal method. As a result of our environmental and eco-friendly approach, we are constantly developing new ways to reuse our materials and divert them from landfills. We aim to use solvent recycling in production to reduce normal process waste relative to production and to reduce our production waste rates by 15% by 2030.
The materials we use to produce premium quality products require strict standards. For this;
• We carefully select raw materials that will provide high performance while minimizing harmful factors to the environment and human health.
• When we design our products, we create them to last a lifetime and to be used as little as possible.
• We declare information about our products to optimize their safe use, handling, storage and distribution.
We continue to contribute to our customers and ensure the sustainability of our business through our efforts to identify and mitigate the potential risks associated with our products throughout the product development-production-use-disposal phases.
QUALITY IS FUNDAMENTAL TO EVERYTHING WE DO.
POLİTEK product formulations help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. We are expanding the number of specially formulated waterborne and high solids solvent-based liquid coatings with reduced levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for our auto repair customers.
Our water-based and solvent-based coatings for the auto repair group, featuring both high and medium solids, reduce VOC emissions. Our HS and HV coatings are applied in 1.5-2 coats, well below the norm. This means that the customer uses less paint, produces fewer emissions to help meet environmental targets and can still repair cars faster compared to traditional solvent-based products.
Our efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our coatings is a company priority.
At POLITEK, WE PRIORITIZE OUR CUSTOMERS ABOVE EVERYTHING. One of our priorities is to help them achieve their own sustainability. We prioritize the conflicts of making our products last longer and reducing the environmental impact of coating applications. Our coatings protect cars, buses, trucks and trains from harsh conditions such as weather, abrasion, ultraviolet light and other corrosive elements. Our industrial coatings provide permanent protection to buildings, vehicles, wooden furniture and agricultural machinery.
Our company continues to increase its contribution to creating a greener and more sustainable future in the coatings and paints industry.
