The site is located in an industrial zone, 12 km from the sea and 8 km north of the centre of Bursa. The nearby River Nilüfer crosses the plain of Bursa.
The nearest homes are immediately next to the site (around 150 m to the east). The Renault Oyak plant occupies a total surface area of 5 ha, of which 25.6 ha of buildings.
Özlem SÖNMEZ, Environment Manager:
Highlights of 2008 include:
- renewal of the ISO 14001 certificate,
- implementation of a process to transform metal shavings into briquettes in the common industrial waste storage zone in July 2008,
- installation of a new wax recycling machine (P3) in December 2008,
- construction of two stuffing/stripping zones that meet Renault standards,
- a campaign to measure atmospheric emissions in March-April 2008,
- a noise measurement campaign,
- startup of diesel engines in September 2008.
Like all other factories in the Renault group, the site rolled out a plan to manage risks of fire, explosion and natural disasters.
Earthquakes are a major risk for the site. An in-depth study has been carried out to identify the necessary reinforcements with, in particular, a campaign to attach all industrial process equipment to the floor or the structure of the building.
Finally, the site was OHSAS-certified in June 2008.
