CynkoMet has two hot-dip galvanization shops located in Czarna Białostocka in a Natura 2000 area and in Wyszków. The foundation of a galvanization shop’s safe operation with regard to environmental protection are integrated permits issued by the Marshals of the Mazowieckie and Podlaskie voivodeships. These permits impose a series of restrictive requirements arising from environmental protection regulations and European Union directives. Both shops are mandatorily and systematically inspected by the Voivodeship Inspectorates for Environmental Protection in Białystok and Ostrołęka. Measurements of emissions into the environment taken as part of monitoring by the aforementioned institutions and by accredited companies demonstrate that our modern plants do not place a burden on the natural environment. Air ventilation systems are equipped with hermetic filtration systems that catch pollutants before they reach the atmosphere, and they are under the strict technical supervision of operation maintenance services in both branches.

Waste is one of the most serious problems in Poland and in the world. Solid waste generated during production at our company is scrupulously segregated into containers specially prepared for this purpose and transferred to companies for recovery and recycling.

More over, both galvanization shops are wastewater-free facilities. Waste generated as a result of chemical processing is collected directly from process tubs by specialized companies, with the relevant permits for its further utilization.

For energy and technological purposes, high-methane natural gas is burned at Wyszków. This fuel is considered to be environment-friendly, with a low burden.

Cynkomet’s galvanization shop in Czarna Białostocka is one of the few production plants in Poland that uses LNG for technological and energy processes. A modern station for evaporating liquid methane from LNG was specially built for this purpose. This is a novelty on the energy market. LNG is a very environment-friendly and safe fuel, and it has no competitors when it comes to environmental protection. It is an exceptionally clean fuel, without toxic or corrosive properties. LNG is a fuel that is being strongly supported by the European Commission. In the “Clean power for transport: A European alternative fuels strategy”, Brussels admits that LNG is an eco-friendly and forward-looking fuel.
