We have replaced heavy fuel oil and SBP gasoline with liquefied natural gas and bioenergy. The steam boiler, completed in 2016, will significantly reduce fossil carbon dioxide emissions.

The most significant tipped process reject that we have not yet found a use for is iron precipitate.
We are yearly participating in various measurement projects and environmental research work to monitor the state of the environment and the effects of our activities on water, air and vegetation.
