Materials are the largest environmental factor in metal processing.
TORA works systematically to reduce waste, optimize utilization and
document materials throughout all relevant process stages.
Material consumption
We work with:
- nesting optimization of sheets
- minimization of leftover pieces via digital control
- recirculation of metal remnants
- planning of series to reduce unnecessary setups
- optimization of machining time
Each process is documented so we can follow material consumption over time.
Recycling
All relevant metal types are recycled:
- steel
- stainless steel
- aluminium
- copper
- brass
Metal remnants are sorted, registered and collected for reuse.
This reduces both waste and resource consumption.
Energy consumption and process control
Energy consumption in industrial production mainly comes from:
- CNC centres
- laser cutting
- welding
- compressors
- ventilation
- heating of production halls
TORA works actively with energy efficiency through:
- modern, energy-efficient machines
- control of standby cycles
- optimized production plans
- LED lighting in production areas
- continuous maintenance of equipment to ensure optimal operation
- reduction of unnecessary transport between process areas
Energy consumption is registered and evaluated continuously to identify
opportunities for improvement.
Handling of chemicals and processes
Chemicals are used only to a limited extent at TORA, but where they are used
they are handled under controlled conditions.
This includes for example:
- cleaning agents
- cutting oils
- coolants and lubricants
- welding gases
- surface preparation chemicals
Waste handling and environmental chain
Waste is sorted, registered and handled according to applicable environmental
rules and internal procedures.
The aim is to ensure correct disposal, high recycling rates and traceability
in waste handling.
Surface treatment – environmental considerations
Surface treatment processes are handled in controlled cooperation with
specialized partners.
Environmental considerations include correct handling of chemicals,
process control and documentation of treatments.
Transport and logistics
Transport and logistics are organized to reduce unnecessary handling
and transport between processes.
Efficient planning and logistics help reduce environmental impact while
ensuring stable deliveries.
Environmental requirements, documentation and legal compliance
TORA complies with applicable environmental legislation and authority
requirements.
Environmental documentation is maintained as part of the company’s
quality and management systems.
Environmental improvements and development
Environmental work at TORA is continuously developed.
Processes, technologies and equipment are evaluated regularly to identify
opportunities to reduce energy consumption, material use and environmental impact.
Environment as part of quality and responsibility
Environmental responsibility is integrated into TORA’s quality management
and operational processes.
The aim is stable production, responsible resource use and transparent
documentation for customers and authorities.
Short summary: ENVIRONMENT
TORA works with:
- documentation of environmental conditions
- reduction of material waste
- energy-efficient production
- responsible handling of chemicals
- recycling of metals
- continuous environmental improvements
Environmental responsibility is integrated into daily operations
and forms part of the company’s overall quality and responsibility framework.
