Description
Gugulanovi Ltd. faces a substantial challenge in managing the extensive stone waste generated from its operations focused on extracting and processing stone cladding materials. This waste encompasses various by-products such as powder or fines, aggregates, larger stone pieces, cobbles, sludge, and more. Currently, the company incurs additional costs by depositing these residual stones in a municipal-owned depository. Moreover, a significant amount of aggregates, stones, and sludge is stored on the company''s premises, accumulating to over 400,000 tons.
Through strategic investments in a blade frame saw machine and a crushing machine, the company aims to enhance its operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. The blade frame saw machine promises increased raw material processing, precise stone cutting to minimize waste, diversification of product sizes, and cleaner production processes utilizing water. Connected to the water purification system, this machine aligns with the company''s commitment to environmental responsibility. The crushing machine, on the other hand, heralds a waste-free production era, with the capacity to process 30 tons of residual material per hour or approximately 150 tons per day.
The project''s green element is underscored by the calculated savings in raw materials and the reduction of CO2 emissions attributed to the innovative equipment. By transitioning to a waste-free production model, Gugulanovi Ltd. not only anticipates increased productivity and profitability but also envisions a long-term commitment to sustainable practices. The planned activities, including the delivery of equipment, project management, and publicity, reflect the company''s dedication to innovation at the organizational level. This project not only addresses the immediate waste management challenge but also aligns with broader EU goals of waste reduction and carbon footprint mitigation.
