With economic development and progress in mind, the concept of sustainability is a step towards preserving natural and cultural heritage, and passing them on to the next generation. It substantially frames the future of world of business, as well as engenders personal change.

Adopted by Bürotime, the fundamental principle of sustainability is based on its urge to materialize its innovative products while being mindful of humans, environment, and elements of design. Pursuant to its “Integrated Management System Policy”, it adopted as a principle to use raw materials that do not jeopardize environment and human health, to reduce waste, and to increase the rate of recycling. Since the very first day at its Konya Organized Industrial Zone facilities, it has been delivering world-class production with its modernization practices in production technology, environment-friendly infrastructure, and sustainable environmental policies.

The wastage amount that occurs in our facility dropped 70% thanks to the modernization we implemented in our packaging system.
Glass (kitchen), paper (office), and metal wastes that result from domestic and office use are regularly stored and delivered to recycling plants, free of charge.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council))-certified raw material is used in production.
Burning wood flour, originating from our factory production, in a steam boiler generates energy for the facility. Stack gas and dust emission that re-enter the atmosphere as a result of burning these organic wastes are regularly measured; while these values are well below the standards stated in the Environmental Legislation (Industrial Air Pollution Control Regulation), as well as the world class limit values.
The “return to burning biomass/organic waste” method among improvement works conducted by today’s industry in order to reduce carbon footprint have been practiced for years, while at the same time recycling processes have been performed in terms of generating energy wastes.
It was selected as ‘Konya City Champion’ in 2012 at the “Turkey’s Cleanest Industrial Facility” organized by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.
Waste recycling prevented 3200 trees from being cut, and a ‘Memorial Forest’ project was materialized on the Konya-Antalya Highway in order to leave a world that is cleaner and more beautiful to future generations.
