Fuel For: • Mixing • Transportation • Heating • Welding • Lighting • Compressed air generation • Steam generation etc.
Energy intensive equipment: • Induction motors • Compressors • Boilers • Vehicles etc.
Effective use of materials: Why is it important?
Efficient use of raw materials with minimal waste generation leads to increase productivity.
Loses of materials take place during transportation, loading and storage. Average waste generation in production of reinforced concrete constructions is about 25 kg per m3
Water saving: Why is it important ?
Water is used at all stages of production and is needed for the functioning of the whole business; water is an indispensable resource.
Water saving
Rational water consumption, recycling, maintenance of water supply systems in good condition and water management allows the enterprise to: • Reduce water losses • Reduce wastewater discharges • Reduce the amount of fees for water use and wastewater
