Waste management is a global
issue with a local impact, and with
cost implications for our business.
We adopt a circular-economy
perspective in our waste
management, considering waste
materials as valuable resources that
must maintain their value for as long
as possible. We apply the waste-
management hierarchy, preferring
prevention, reduction, reuse and
recycling in our operations.
Our main waste streams arising from industrial
activities are paper and cardboard, plastic,
and organic waste. Our production plants
cooperate with local suppliers responsible for
waste management, to seek the most
sustainable and achievable end of life and to
achieve local targets set for waste reduction.
All waste generated by our activities is
managed by authorised third parties,
complying with contractual and legislative
requirements. In addition, we are constantly
exploring new ways of using our waste
materials, working with suppliers and other
industry sectors - for example, by upgrading
waste materials to by-products with value in
other fields. Our plants, also periodically carry
out audits at our main waste-management
suppliers and encourage continuous
improvement.
To better evaluate the impact related to our
waste management, during fiscal year
2021/22 we launched a project to improve
reporting and collection of waste data, which
we will further develop during 2022/23 and
apply in the following year.
What have we achieved?
Looking only at our manufacturing sites, the
waste ratio remained stable from 68.3 kg/
tonne in FY 2020/21, to 68.2 kg/tonne in fiscal
year 2021/22. Even though the result was
negatively influenced by some events like the
temporary closure of Arlon plant (see page 60),
we were able to maintain the same efficiency
per tonne production due to the continued
improvement activities within production
plants, such as efficiency improvements on
production lines and increased reuse of
wooden pallets and cardboard, as well as
upcycle previous waste materials into by-
products, where local legislation allowed us.
One of the main negative influences was due
to the extraordinary elimination of products in
the Arlon plant. In some cases, local legislation
allowed us to upcycle previous waste materials
into by-products.
Our waste-recovery rate kept improving. We
achieved this through better waste segregation
at our plants and by working with suppliers
to find more-sustainable treatment solutions.
11 of our production plants reached a waste-
recovery rate higher than 99%: Baramati
(India), Bloomington (USA), Cork (Ireland),
Hangzhou (China), Manisa (Turkey), Villers-
Écalles (France), Alfreton (UK), Arlon (Belgium),
Poços de Caldas (Brazil), Quito (Ecuador),
Stadtallendorf (Germany).
