Environmental Concerns

Scrap metal processing provides important support for environmental protection. It helps preserve natural resources and significantly reduces energy consumption in the production process.

TOLMETS has invested a great amount of resources to develop environmentally friendly technology. This has resulted in effective scrap metal processing technologies that cause the smallest possible amount of harm to the environment. TOLMETS actively co-operates with public and state organisations that work with ecological issues.

The company's "Shredder" complex of scrap metal shredding equipment performs the deep filtration of scrap metal, thus ensuring ecologically clean processing works. Experts of this complex have deemed the equipment the most environmentally friendly scrap metal processing equipment in the world. The territory of the production unit is covered with surfacing that prevents groundwater pollution; the territory also houses special wells to collect runoff.

All TOLMETS and partner scrap metal collection sites accept outworn electronics free of charge. These electronics are guaranteed to be processed quickly, qualitatively and in an environmentally friendly manner.

TOLMETS wants to ensure that outworn cars are also processed in an environmentally friendly manner:

1. All liquids are siphoned out of the old vehicle and all elements that contain dangerous materials are removed;
2. Tyres are ground down and used in road construction, insulation and for other purposes;
3. Batteries are transferred to be recycled at a battery factory.
