MANAGEMENT OF WASTE GENERATED AT THE PLANTS
GRI 306-1, 306-2
In order to manage the significant (real and potential) impacts in relation
to the waste from its operation as a whole, Orizon monitors the entry,
activity and exit of each type of waste sent to its units, having developed
specific control processes for each case, as can be seen in the table below:
Orizon also supports a number of internal campaigns and projects at the
plants with the aim of not generating any more unnecessary waste. Some
examples of what is done:
"Caneque-se" ("Your Own Mug")
ā campaign, aimed at avoiding the
use of plastic cups at some units;
Reuse of wood received at the
landfill to provide fencing;
Entry
Motor oil
Hydraulic oil
Slurry generated by the
end activity
Solid waste
Diesel oil
Activities
Motor, pump and hydraulic
control lubricants
Treatment station for this
slurry
Final disposal of solid
waste
Fueling of machines and
trucks
Exit
Replacement of these oils
depending upon the length
of time the equipment is in
use The oil replaced is sent
to recyclers
Reuse water
Production of biogas
(sanitary landfills that do
not have suction or biogas
burning systems can
potentially pollute the air,
due to the methane not
being destroyed)
External treatment
