In the EPC Projects Sector, we do not manage primary natural
resources, but insteadwe use semi-finished or finished products,
according to the detailed plans/drawings and procedures for each
project, which specify with great accuracy each material which
will be used, its manufacturing method and its exact position and
operation. These plans/drawings and procedures of the Group
conform to the latest developments in the respective fields of
expertise in this specific sector. They involve the use of complex
materials/products such as turbines, power generators, pumps
etc. for incorporation, together with more simple ones such as
merchant bars (beams, pipes, steel plates, axles, cast parts
etc.) for manufacturing (cutting, welding, processing, hardening)
in its industrial facilities or in those of its subcontractors. The
manufactured products are then transported to the customer’s
facility / construction site, where assembly/erection of the final
product (e.g. a power plant) takes place.

The percentage of the use of recycled materials, in the
implementation of projects in the EPC Sector,
stood at 35.8%

shown an increase by 5.3% compared to 2015.
G4-EN2
Additionally,
a key criterion in the design stage of the projects that METKA
is carrying out as an EPC Contractor, is the maximum use of
recyclable materials. The company’s requests for proposals and
contracts with suppliers of materials and equipment contain a
specific clause regarding their compliance with the requirements
of the ISO-14001 International Standard, specifically referring to
the prohibition of using environmentally hazardous materials and
the obligation to make the maximum possible use of recyclable
materials.
In the Energy Sector, the raw material used in the Group’s
power plants is natural gas, which cannot be recycled and is
not a renewable source.
G4-EN2
The substantial increase in
the consumption of natural gas at the thermal power plants of
PROTERGIA in 2016 was due to the increase in the production of
electricity.

Of the 1,024.1 tonnes of total weight of materials used and incorporated in the end products, steel (in the form of plates, merchant bars or other project
materials) accounted for approximately 916.2 tonnes. Around 40% of the EU’s total steel production comes from electric arc furnaces, in which steel is
produced from 100% recycled raw material (scrap)
(Source:
Strasbourg, 11.6.2013, COM (2013) 407 final, p.10).
Thus, 366.48 tonnes (40% of 916.2 tonnes) correspond to recycled steel.
7.2.2 Raw & Other Materials
G4-EN1
In 2016, approximately 2.2 million tonnes of raw materials
(dry basis) were used in the Metallurgy & Mining sector for the
production of primary cast aluminium products, showing just
a marginal increase (by 0.7%) compared to 2015. The 85% of
this quantity relates to bauxite, which comes mainly from the
exploitation of mines in the prefectures of Fokida and Viotia and
is the main raw material used for the production of alumina and
aluminium. The remaining 15% relates to other materials from
non-renewable sources. The use of alternative raw materials,
i.e. byproducts or waste of other industries, which can reduce
the consumption of raw materials, is not applicable to aluminium
production process.
