RUSAL has invested more than $ 1 billion in environmental projects  over the past 10 years

ArmInfo. RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, invested more than $ 1 billion in environmental projects between 2011 and 2020.

Thanks to the environmental measures and initiatives consistently  implemented by RUSAL, over the past 10 years, the company's emissions  have been reduced by almost 20%, industrial wastewater discharges  have been reduced by more than half, while fresh water consumption  has been reduced by a third.  <The results that RUSAL has achieved in  improving the environmental profile of its enterprises over the past  10 years are truly worthy. This was made possible by a comprehensive  program that the company implements to reduce the impact of its  production on the environment, including developing and implementing  its own know-how. This approach is an integral part of the company's  strategy, and, of course, we will continue to develop in this  direction, " said Ivan Rebrik, Director of the Department of Ecology,  Labor Protection and Industrial Safety of RUSAL.

Yerevan ARMENAL has also made significant progress in the field of  environmental protection. Over the past decade, the plant has  invested up to $ 8 million in projects aimed at protecting the  environment. The highly environmentally friendly AirPure ("Clean  Air") plant has been put into operation, which repeatedly reduces the  emissions of spent coolant vapors into the atmosphere. The complex of  new high-efficiency cooling towers has reduced the water consumption  of the enterprise by about 10 times. ARMENAL strictly complies with  all environmental requirements and regulations of the Republic of  Armenia. Currently, preparations are underway for the implementation  of a land reclamation project on the territory of the former  electrolysis production of the Kanaker Aluminum Plant.
