This study presents a detailed report on the corporate carbon footprint of Met Kağıtçılık Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi production plant in Akçaburgaz Mah. 1584. Sk. No:7/11 Esenyurt/İstanbul.
All data collected and analyzed in this report have been created in line with the principles of conformity, integrity, consistency, transparency and accuracy of the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG), the most widely used international carbon calculation methodology. The GHG Protocol is recognized as the most widely used international calculation tool for government and business leaders to understand, measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions.
Met Kağıtçılık Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, It was established in 1989 as an important link in the Aras Group's service chain. The company, which does not limit its service range to paper import and marketing, has adopted the principle of producing solutions to customer problems as a principle. It has always been a follower of current technology by closely following the developments and technological innovations in the world paper and cellulose market together with the organizations it works with.
Met Kağıtçılık has been producing packaging materials that come into direct contact with food using extrusion coating technique since 2016 under the Metpack brand. Met Kağıtçılık, which was the first to introduce the latest technologies to the sector, maintains its leadership in the paper sector today with the quality products it offers. Working together with world-class companies, Met Kağıtçılık is capable of meeting all kinds of paper needs of the sector. With its own research department, it can instantly access new products that the sector needs.
Met Kağıtçılık Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi has prepared the corporate carbon footprint report for using the data of 2023 with the awareness of being a sustainable institution, determined to bring quality, environmentally friendly and reliable products to its region, country and the whole world. In order to be a production company with a low carbon footprint, it has identified greenhouse gas emission sources, calculated and reported the amount of emissions.
Job descriptions are also defined for greenhouse gas studies.
This report has been prepared by MET KAĞITÇILIK SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş., taking into account the ISO 14064:2018 Standard and the GHG Greenhouse Gas Protocol Calculation and Reporting Standards. The total corporate carbon footprint resulting from its operations and activities has been calculated. In 2022, the greenhouse gas team was assigned to 3 people, in 2023 it was reduced to one person.

Institutions and organizations determine national and international climate change policies and manage measures to reduce greenhouse gas risks in order to turn current and future risks into opportunities.
This report has been prepared by MET KAĞITÇILIK SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş. activities;
Carbon footprint; It is the measurement of greenhouse gases and the expression of the environmental effects caused by all kinds of activities of individuals, institutions and organizations in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e). The definition of greenhouse gases determined by the Kyoto Protocol includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4 ), nitrogen monoxide (N2 O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gases, and to specify their amounts. a common unit of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e) is used.
The effect rates of greenhouse gases on global warming1 are shown in Figure 1.
The development of industry changes the chemical content of the atmosphere, causes the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially the increase in carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide levels. If no precautions are taken, global warming will cause an increase in sea level, changes in local climate conditions, and negative effects on vegetation and water resources.
The impact rates of economic activities on greenhouse gas emissions are shown in Figure 2.
As a result, human health will be affected and many ecosystems will be disrupted. For this reason, individuals, companies and organizations and governments should be united in the common goal of reducing carbon emissions.
The aforementioned study is “Greenhouse Gas Protocol Institutional Calculation and Reporting Standards- prepared by GHG Protocol for Met Kağıtçılık greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard” and ISO 14064-1: 2018 standards.
In accordance with the GHG Protocol, the reporting of the emissions in the scope I and II definitions is mandatory, the reporting of the Scope III emissions is on a voluntary basis. The reporting of gases other than the greenhouse gases defined in the Kyoto protocol is out of scope and must be reported separately. As Met Kağıtçılık, all of the Scope 1- Scope 2- Scope 3 emissions have been calculated.
All of the direct emissions were calculated for the year 2022, and the non-calculation of the emissions below the 5% impact value accepted in the base year (2021) for indirect emissions was changed to 0.1% according to the revised company data. Indirect emission prioritization criteria are listed below.
MET KAĞITÇILIK reviews the indirect emission prioritization criteria when the following conditions are met;
Changes are brought to the agenda by the Greenhouse Gas Management Team and the decision to review the criteria is considered.
Met Kağıtçılık consumption data has been provided within the scopes to be used in carbon footprint calculations.
Met Kağıtçılık 2023 carbon footprint calculation and reporting It was made according to international standards and methods ISO 14064 – 1:2018 and GHG Protocol standards. This standards,
Met Kağıtçılık has been producing packaging materials that come into direct contact with food using extrusion coating technique since 2016 under the Metpack brand. In calculating its carbon footprint, only MET KAĞITÇILIK SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş's Metpack brands operations within its commercial borders are taken into account. MET KAĞITÇILIK SANAYİ VE TİC A.Ş. It uses the equal sharing approach in Corporate Carbon Footprint Calculation and Reporting.
As MET KAĞITÇILIK, Istanbul Esenyurt location of the factory, it has calculated its emissions in all scopes except 14064:2018 category 5.
For the calculations, continuous data arising from all activities within Met Kağıtçılık were used. Reporting limits and related activity types are given below.
Emission sources, data sources, category classification included in the calculation: (Greenhouse gas from the use of category 5 manufactured products is not taken into account)
Met Kağıtçılık has categorized the emission sources within the scope of GHG and determined their scope.
TIER 1 / TIER 2 approach was used in the calculation.
Natural Gas/Diesel for stationary combustion
E= Fuel Amount*Net Calorific Value*Emission Factor* Oxidation Factor
Density data was obtained from the fuel supplier and the calculation was made.
Net calorific value is taken as IPCC 48/Diesel IPCC 43 for natural gas.
Emission Factors were obtained from IPCC 2006 and GHG Protocol sources.
For Moving Combustion / Leakage Gas Calculation
E: Emission Factor * Activity data
Formulas are used.
Sources of activity data are defined in Table 3. Activity data is collected instantly.
Met Kağıtçılık has formulated and calculated all emissions in the PR 25 FR.01 CALCULATION TABLE.
The indirect and direct emission amounts calculated in TON CO2E are as follows.
Calculations are calculated directly and indirectly.
In the report prepared in 2022 with 2023 data, the carbon footprint value was 63,082.12 t CO2e, while the carbon footprint value calculated this year with 2023 data was 47,043.86 t CO2e.
Met Kağıtçılık reduced its corporate carbon footprint by 25.4%.
Consumption data to be used in the calculation at Met Kağıtçılık are collected monthly and calculations are made in accordance with GHG / IPCC data.
The following documents have been created within the scope of the greenhouse gas management system.
The targets given for 2021 have been transferred to 2023 because there are no clear data. Follow up continues. An internal audit was carried out on 01.03.2023 and reviewed within the scope of Risk Opportunities, 14064-1.
