Other Key Developments

Products that create environmental value:

  • In 2021, 47% of our turnover was from our energy-efficient products

  • We saved approximately 540,610 trees from being cut down by using 31,800 tons of recycled cardboard for products packaging globally.

  • A total of 7,216 tons of recycled plastics and 34 tons of bio-composite plastics were used in 2021.

  • In 2021, 9 tons of recycled waste fishing net and 233.6 tons of recycled industrial thread were used in the plastic parts of the oven, dishwashers and washing machines.

  • In 2021, fan parts of dishwashers were produced by recycling approximately 568 dishwasher baskets obtained from WEEE recycling plants.

  • In 2021, 79 tons of PE packaging waste were used in dishwashers and refrigerator components.

  • In 2021, we improved the average energy consumption of washing machine products in Turkey by 20%, and tumble dryer, refrigerators, and dishwashers by 4%, 3,5%, and, 1%, respectively, compared to 2020.

  • Since 2014, we have recycled roughly 1.6 million WEEE units in our WEE recycling plants. We saved 397 GWh of energy between 2014 and 2021 by replacing old, highenergy-consuming products with new, energy-efficient products. This is equivalent to the daily electricity consumption of about 50 million Turkish households.

  • By recycling waste products, we have prevented about 195,000 tons of CO2 emissions. In terms of water, we saved approximately 8.1 million tons of water by replacing old-tech products with new ecofriendly ones. This quantity is equivalent to nearly 10 million Turkish households’ daily water consumption.
