Tracking of transportable waste
In addition to tracking of waste by type, an approach to account for waste by cause has been used since 2019 at all the Group’s factories and distribution centres. This method identifies and quantifies the sources and causes of waste generation in the flows of a site. This approach strengthens the action plans to reduce waste and is an additional vector of progress for the sites.
At each Group site, specific tracking (volumetry, collection streams, treatments etc.) of hazardous waste is implemented under local regulations (flammable, toxic etc.). This tracking takes into consideration the specific characteristics of each country in which the sites operate. Like other waste, hazardous waste management benefits from a continuous improvement process which has allowed wastewater to be reclassified as hazardous waste to improve the way it is treated.
