Minimising environmental impact and encouraging sustainable practices are of great importance to MELTEM. Our training programs aim to raise environmental awareness among employees and partners, contributing to a more sustainable future. These sessions cover key topics such as environmental regulations, waste management, energy efficiency, water conservation, and carbon footprint reduction. Supporting our eco-friendly approach, these trainings help all stakeholders fulfil their environmental responsibilities, contributing to MELTEM’s sustainable success.
Waste Management and Zero Waste
Meltem International Transportation places great importance on zero-waste management to reduce environmental impact and contribute to a sustainable future. Our Zero-Waste Certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high environmental performance. Key elements of our zero-waste policy include:
Waste Reduction: We continuously optimise processes to minimise waste and enhance resource efficiency.
Recycling and Reuse: We segregate waste for recycling and repurpose reusable materials to reduce waste volume.
Education and Awareness: We provide comprehensive information to employees on zero-waste principles, increasing awareness on this critical issue.
SES - Natural Resource Use
Meltem International Transportation demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly solutions through the use of Solar Energy Systems (SES). This technology, which converts sunlight directly into electricity via photovoltaic panels, is a clean and renewable energy source. By reducing our carbon footprint, we contribute to environmental protection. The use of solar energy represents a significant step towards a sustainable future, enabling MELTEM to confidently embrace innovative and eco-friendly energy solutions.
Energy Conservation
We actively implement various energy conservation strategies to enhance efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint. These strategies go beyond lowering costs, enabling us to contribute to a sustainable future by reducing our carbon footprint:
Efficient Equipment Usage: Investments in energy-efficient equipment and technologies, such as LED lighting, energy-saving HVAC systems, and efficient motors, help reduce energy consumption.
Monitoring and Management: We regularly monitor and analyse energy consumption trends through energy management systems, allowing us to identify areas for improvement.
Renewable Energy Sources: Clean energy solutions, such as solar panels and wind turbines, reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Awareness: Employees receive training on energy conservation practices to promote a culture of efficiency.
Carbon Emissions
Through the use of double-deck trailers and Euro 6-compliant vehicles equipped with AdBlue technology, MELTEM minimises carbon emissions. These technologies provide environmentally conscious logistics solutions, contributing to a sustainable future.
Adblue
Aligned with our eco-friendly approach, MELTEM invests in advanced technologies for our vehicle fleet. AdBlue, a diesel exhaust fluid, reduces harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) in emissions, transforming them into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This technology supports compliance with Euro 6 standards, significantly lowering air pollution and maintaining environmentally friendly operations.
Euro 6
Euro 6 emission standards aim to reduce the environmental impact of diesel vehicles. MELTEM’s Euro 6-compliant fleet ensures minimal exhaust emissions, contributing to improved air quality. By reducing harmful particulates and nitrogen oxides, we offer eco-friendly transportation solutions.
Double-Deck Vehicles
Meltem International Transportation addresses the medical logistics sector’s needs with optimised double-deck trailers, ensuring safe and efficient transportation. This innovative design increases capacity, enabling the transport of more goods in a single journey while enhancing energy efficiency. Double-deck vehicles reduce fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions, meeting high safety and sustainability standards.
Eco-Friendly Procurement
MELTEM prioritises environmentally responsible procurement practices to support its sustainability goals. This approach not only minimises environmental impacts but also promotes sustainable business practices:
Sustainable Product Selection: Preference is given to products made from eco-friendly materials produced through sustainable processes.
Energy and Water Efficiency: We prioritise the purchase of energy- and water-efficient products.
Waste Reduction and Recycling: End-of-life products are evaluated for waste minimisation and recycling potential.
