Millions invested for a better
environment
The Sundsvall smelter makes wide use of modern
technology to reduce emissions to air and water. Over the last 20
years, emissions of polyaromatic hydrocarbons and fluorides have
been substantially reduced, as have emissions of dust.
Kubal complies with the environmental requirements specified by
the supervising authorities, but does not rest on its laurels: work
contiues constantly to effect further improvements.
Especially during the1980s, several hundred millions Swedish kronor
were invested in environmental improvements, covering both the internal
and external environments. Check measurements and analyses are constantly
performed in the company´s laboratory.
Kubal has a ISO 14001
certification.
