Altek Metal’s Çerkezköy service center now meets 65% of its annual energy demand from sustainable sources through its solar panel investment. With 2380 panels installed on the factory roof, Altek Metal not only reduces its carbon footprint but also maintains competitiveness against fluctuations in energy prices.
The annual energy consumption of Altek Metal’s Çerkezköy factory, amounting to 1.3 million kWh, is now sourced 65% from sustainable resources. This savings equates to preventing the cutting of 10,000 trees, the carbon emissions of 131 cars, or the burning of 302 tons of coal annually.
“We believe that reducing the carbon footprint is the responsibility of every company. This investment has been a positive initial step for our company in terms of sustainability. We are excitedly working for its continuation,” says Marketing Manager Engin Karabağlı.
