Environment protection measures
"Saga" Ltd. and "Laiko" Ltd. have elaborated regulations on the maximum allowable amount of emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, which are coordinated with the Committee of Regional Environmental Protection. The norms of allowable emissions are established for each emission source, as well as measures to be taken to reduce the level of pollution of the air basin are registered. All sources of emissions are equipped with powder-gas pollution control facilities - cyclones, filters, soot arresters. The company utilizes specially designed furnaces for burning of waste resulting from wood processing - cuttings, chips and dust. For treatment of fuel gases originated in the burning process facilities corresponding to the environmental protection requirements are used. The heat obtained from wood waste incineration is used for room heating, wood drying chambers and other industrial needs. Thereby consumption of traditional power resources is reduced.
The water used in wood processing is let settle in special basins prior to leading-out to the drainage system. The chemically hazardous wastes: luminescent lamps, generated oils, tires, outworn accumulators, used-up colour cans are regularly transferred for re-processing to the specialty firms.
