Air, water and soil protection

Wastewater – all water purification facilities in the factory conform to the strictest standards. A high degree of purification is ensured by modern purification facilities, built separately for individual types of pollution. Calculated on a per vehicle basis, our water consumption and the volume of wastewater have dropped to one quarter of those measured in 1991, the year of merging with the VW Konzern.

Recycling – frame agreements with suppliers and companies specializing in automobile waste processing lay down the company’s concrete steps in the area of waste collection and subsequent waste processing. This applies above all to car windows, batteries, tires, and plastic components. Using the services of specialized companies, all other waste, such as oil, is collected and recycled.

Energy – the environmental issues of the third millennium require specific approach to energy consumption: the company is supplied all types of energy by a modern Ško-ENERGO, a thermal plant equipped with state-of-the-art technology for combined heat and energy production based on fluid combustion of high-energy black coal. For example, the volume of flue ash generated by the plant has dropped to less than one quarter of the original volume!  Moreover, the new thermal plant supplies heat to nearly 10,000 households in Mladá Boleslav.
