< 80 > Waste Our waste and effluent management encompasses recycling, reuse and reverse logistics actions for waste generated in the activities at all our units. Implemented in 2011, the Selective Waste Collection Program aims to reduce waste sent to landfills and, therefore, increase that sent to recycling centers. We held several campaigns during the year to raise awareness about selective collection for employees and outsourced service providers. Currently, we work in partnership with local cooperatives that recycle non-hazardous waste, such as paper, plastic, wood and metals. Hazardous waste is sent to previously approved companies, complying with the legislation and AES Corporation's standards. We use reverse logistics for the batteries replaced during maintenance and for the oils used in the wind power complexes. Moreover, in 2022, we approved a company for the disposal of photovoltaic panels, prioritizing the recycling and reuse of said materials. Most of the waste we generate is related to plant maintenance. The volumes generated and their disposal are monitored and controlled by the SGA, and specialized, previously approved companies are responsible for the transportation and final disposal of materials. panels that have lost generation efficiency, and reuses them as electric fences. This action encourages the reuse of materials and the consequent waste reduction in the short term, and has the additional benefit of offering the protection of a physical fence at a lower cost. The Waste direct to disposal (in tons) Non-hazardous Recycling Landfill Subtotal equipment used does not harm the life of wild animals. Given its success, the project should be expanded in the Dandara settlement, near Promissão HPP. The local community works with agriculture and participates in a agro-forestry training project. 20222 2021 2020 15.61 30.9 18.9 12.8 7.6 7.8 28.4 38.5 26.7 Hazardous Recycling 8.11 12.8 11.0 Co-processing (and other forms of burning with energy recovery) 29.3 22.8 42.3 Other forms of waste recovery 16.9 0.8 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 16.0 10.2 0.0 Other forms of final disposal Subtotal Consolidated total (non-hazardous + hazardous) 20.4 44.0 56.4 90.7 90.5 109.7 119.1 129.0 136.4 In 2022, we sent 55% of non-hazardous waste to recycling. Aiming to reduce waste generation, in 2022 developed an innovative pilot project in the region of the city of Borborema (SP). This project consists in installing electric fences in partnership with local rural producers. The initiative contributes to manage the waste generated by solar Incineration Landfill 1 The amount of waste directed to recycling decreased because the assets merged into our portfolio in 2021 do not have a system to direct waste to recycling yet. 2 Do not include Caetés, Ventos do Araripe and Cassino Wind Power Complexes data because these assets were added to the operational portfolio in December 2022.. 2022 Integrated Sustainability Report > Responsibility aes Brasil
