Let’s clean our planet together!

KTA has a strong focus on ecology.
For several years our company has been clearing Arctic territories
from scrap metal.

KTA employees have repeatedly been on business trips in the high latitudes in Varandey, Amderma, Norilsk and the Chukchi Peninsula. All districts of the region demonstrate the same global problem of environmental pollution by various wastes, including scrap metal. A sizeable portion of those “riches” has been stored in the Arctic since the Soviet times, disturbing ecology for many a decade. This burden of the past can serve people once again if recycled properly and then used as raw materials. This is why KTA’s participation in clearing the Arctic from scrap metal is well-reasoned. There is a great need for it and great opportunities. Restoration of damaged natural ecosystems is one of the central priorities of the state ecological policy.
Sinkin Nos Cape, 2016

The area of works amounted to 18 ha, more than 3000 tons of scrap were collected.

Kolguyev Island, 2017
In summer 2017 the KTA company collected scrap metal on Kolguyev island.
We prepared ourselves for the arctic hardships in advance.

The company had not only to collect the scrap, but also to cut it on-site and then export it directly from the polar region. Such logistics allowed to avoid extra shipment expenses and to make the arctic expedition cost efficient.

Primary goal: complete cleanup of the territories

The tasks set before KTA are extremely relevant because most of the polluted areas are deer pasture ground. Solving this problem is one of the main objectives for the local authorities in terms of preservation and development of reindeer herding, a legacy industry. As well as preservation of traditional lifestyle and protection of primordial living environment of indigenous minorities of the North and other ethnic communities living in Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

It is remarkable that KTA funds all works on its own, without budgetary assistance, which not only has a positive effect on the district economy, but most importantly, speeds up implementation of the state measures on removing pollution and other adverse environmental impacts.

The result of this fruitful work is preservation of the environment and, as a consequence, living standards improvement in the district as well as creation of new workplaces for the local people who are directly engaged into these important activities.

So far an area of 50 ha has been cleared on Kolguyev, 10 000 tons of scrap metal have been collected. The total area of pollution is 50 000 ha.





Amderma township, 2017
In the beginning of 2017 KTA started to clear deer pasture grounds near Amderma
from scrap metal wastes accumulated over the years.
The objective of the reclamation is total cleanup of the area.

KTA plans to meet this target within 2-3 years. It is worth noting that this is probably the largest project in this field in the Nenets Autonomous Region.

Speaking about corporate responsibility, it is important to say that this program will help to create workplaces for the local people and provide respectable salaries.

So far approximately 10 000 tons of scrap metal have been collected. The works will continue on a year-round basis. We plan to collect another 10 000 tons of scrap metal during the winter period.
