The document outlines Green Factory initiatives at a textile company called Yesim. Key objectives include reducing water and energy usage, waste, and carbon emissions. Specific projects that have been implemented include a heat recovery system, more efficient boilers, reduced dyeing water usage, electricity savings from equipment upgrades, and lean manufacturing techniques. Employees provided over 50 suggestions in a poll, with the top ideas relating to lighting controls, water saving devices, chemical automation, and awareness campaigns. All suggestions will be developed into formal projects to be implemented and rewarded.

1. Green Factory May 3, 2008 Strategic Objectives Management Review Meeting

2. Objective Starting as from the technical projects Generalized of the Green Factory concept in Yesim Sharing of future plans green factory (WASTE) (ENERGY / NATURAL SOURCES) INPUT OUTPUT PRODUCTION

3. Technical Applications 145 lt/kg fabric 110 lt/kg fabric %25 23 million kg CO 2 /year 19.5 million kg CO 2 /year 5.4 million kg/year CO 2 3 million kg/year CO 2 %45 Project How ? Result ? Natural Gas Wastewater Heat Recovery System (using of hot wastewater to warm up the clean water) Cancellation of the Heat Transfer Oil Boiler (using of direct burning system instead of heat transfer oil at fabric finishing process) - %26 Reduction of Natural Gas consumption Carbon dioxide causes global warming Water Savings Reduction of the water rate at dyeing process (Kg fabric: Lt water) Previous Flotte Rate: 1:10 – 1:8 New Flotte Rate: 1:8 – 1:6 Reusing of the cooling water at dyehouses: 1750 m3/day water saving Increasing of the ‘correct dyeing at first’ rate: Electricity Savings - Cancellation of the heat oil transfer pumps, - Changing of knittig ventilation fan wings (fiber fan wings using instead of aluminium wings ) - Changing of boiler water pumps (low kWh) - Renewal of the power panels - Using transparent roof materials to benefit from daylight for illumination - Reducing the active-reactive power rate by installing condensers on transformers - Using AC engines instead of DC engines at dyehouses (low kWh) %16 Electricity Saving 1 kWh electricity production causes 0.46 kg CO2 emission

4. 299 tonnes 127 tonnes %58 480,000 $ 277,000 $ %43 Technical Applications Lean Production Applications - Reduction of the fabric production stock (ton/fabric) (saving the resources that are spended for stocks) - Reduction of the chemical stock (reduction of chemical stock also decreasing the EHS risks) Moving the Chemical Warehouse near to dyehouses Decreasing of the highly rated environmental risk (possible incidents from carrying of the chemicals by lift trucks – risk point decreased 28 to 14) 575 meters of distance saving (reduction of carrying ESH risks & also reduction of lift truck emissions)

5. Green Factory Workshops After trainings, suggestions that could be applicable for Yesim and related to the green factory concept were requested from attendees. Talent Pool Trainings Green Factory Workshop 23 Attendees 52 suggestions from attendees A poll study conducted to; Pick out the favorite suggestions and Generalize the Green Factory concept inside the factory

6. Green Factory Suggestion Poll Poll study and green factory suggestions are announced inside the factory

7. Poll conducted between March 31 – April 4 from; - Computers (on intranet) & - Survey Sheets 3 favorite suggestions requested to be picked from 52 1807 people voted (%55 of Yesim) Information about green factory is given on site Green Factory Suggestion Poll
