Abrasive production uses technical water from the Dnipro River for production needs and drinking water for specific purposes. All storm and sludge wastewater from the enterprise’s premises enters the general treatment facilities of the plant. The purified water is then used to replenish the closed water cycle of the enterprise or in technological processes. Only a portion of the water is discharged into the Mokra Moskovka River and then into the Dnipro River.
Ecological monitoring at the enterprise is an important component of activities aimed at ensuring compliance with environmental norms and standards, as well as assessing the impact of the enterprise on the environment. In this case, “Zaporizhabrazive” ensures regular monitoring of emissions and discharges of pollutants that may occur during the operation of the technological equipment. To ensure high-quality monitoring, an environmental department has been established, which includes a nature conservation laboratory equipped with the necessary equipment for measurements and analysis of environmental samples. Qualified personnel with expertise in ecology work in the laboratory. The environmental department holds the relevant documents and licenses to carry out the necessary measurements and analyses.
Previously, abrasive production waste was taken to an industrial waste landfill for disposal. Currently, “Zaporizhabrazive” implements a strategy of maximum involvement in the production of materials that have resource value. Separate waste collection conditions have been organized at all sites of the enterprise. Hazardous waste is stored in designated and equipped areas and then transferred for disposal to organizations with appropriate licenses.
Zaporizhzhia Abrasive Plant PJSC systematically arranges the territory of the enterprise and its sanitary protection zone, planting new green areas, and conducting regular maintenance (watering, pruning) and grass mowing. The area of green spaces covers 30% of the industrial site. The plant’s employees actively participate in cleaning the company’s assigned territories on Saturdays and engage in city environmental actions.
