THE IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Recycling practices are processes that are extremely important for the preservation and efficient use of our natural resources. Our Natural Resources Are Preserved Our natural resources are dwindling every day due to the increase in the world's population and change in consumption habits. We thus need to use our natural resources efficiently by reducing the use of materials and reclaiming recyclable waste, and it is for this reason that recycling practices are extremely important for the preservation and efficient use of our natural resources. Energy Savings Are Provided On the condition that it reduces the number of industrial operations in the production of wares, recycling provides savings on energy. For instance, in the recycling of metal beverage cans, when these metals are melted directly and transformed into new products, the ores used to produce these metals and the processes required to purify these ores are no longer required for production to take place. Energy savings of 96% can thus be provided from the recycling of aluminum cans. The Amount of Waste Falls By reducing the amount of waste that must be disposed of via recycling, less space and energy is used to transport and store this waste. While this reduction is not much in terms of weight for domestic waste, volumetrically, it represents a significant proportion. Recycling Means Investing in the Future and the Economy Recycling is an economic investment with long-term yields. Economic problems may arise as a result of the scarcity of raw materials and the rapid consumption of natural resources, and this is where recycling will have a positive influence on the economy. It will provide new business opportunities and allow future generations to make use of natural resources too. 02 / THE IMPORTANCE OFENVIRONMENTALSUSTAINABILITY

GOALS AND TARGETS
Objective: To reduce the air pollution we release into our
environment
Target: To reduce the gases emitted from our vehicles
Result: NETLOG bought 300 new semi-trailer trucks with Euro 5 green
engines within two years and parted with its old Euro 3 engine
vehicles. Vehicles with Euro 5 engines emit 30% less CO2 than older
engines. NETLOG invested EUR 23 million for this change, taking a
risk in an uncertain global economy.
Objective: To increase recycling
Target: To facilitate the recycling of such products used in NETLOG
companies as paper, tires, batteries, car batteries, and oil
Result: NETLOG has been working to facilitate the recycling of such products
as paper, tires, batteries, car batteries, and oil for two years. Efforts
run with recycling companies will be reviewed to increase the amount
of waste collected. Furthermore, employees' knowledge on the
importance of recycling will be reinforced via in-house training.
Objective: To increase the use of environmentally sensitive
Alternative Modes of Transport (AMTs)
Target: To secure an advantage in costs using AMTs and developing systems
that are environmentally sensitive and less polluting
Result: Facilitating the continuing use of AMTs that are already being used,
bringing to life the Romania–Germany intermodal transport system,
and completing the feasibility study for the Istanbul–Koper combined
container ship.

ABOUT RECYCLING
WHAT DOES "RECYCLING" MEAN? WHY IS RECYCLING IMPORTANT?
Our Natural Resources Are Preserved
Our natural resources are dwindling every day due to the increase in the world's
population and change in consumption habits. We thus need to use our natural
resources efficiently by reducing the use of materials and reclaiming recyclable
waste, and it is for this reason that recycling practices are extremely important
for the preservation and efficient use of our natural resources.
Energy Savings Are Provided
On the condition that it reduces the number of industrial operations in the
production of wares, recycling provides savings on energy. For instance, in the
recycling of metal beverage cans, when these metals are melted directly and
transformed into new products, the ores used to produce these metals and the
processes required to purify these ores are no longer required for production to
take place. Energy savings of 96% can thus be provided from the recycling of
aluminum cans.
The Amount of Waste Falls
By reducing the amount of waste that must be disposed of via recycling, less space
and energy is used to transport and store this waste. While this reduction is not
much in terms of weight for domestic waste, volumetrically, it represents a
significant proportion.
Recycling Means Investing in the Future and the Economy
Recycling is an economic investment with long-term yields. Economic problems may
arise as a result of the scarcity of raw materials and the rapid consumption of
natural resources, and this is where recycling will have a positive influence on the
economy. It will provide new business opportunities and allow future generations to
make use of natural resources too.
Recycling is the reintroduction of waste that is decommissioned or can be reclaimed
after use into the manufacturing process by conversion to derived raw materials by way
of various physical and/or chemical processes. The materials the NETLOG Group strives
to recycle are paper, motor oil, batteries of all kinds, and tires.
