Prevent Reduce Reuse Preventing waste from being Reducing the quantity of waste Using a product, material, or produced being produced substance again for the same purpose [1] Recycle Energy Disposal recovery Recovering waste and Directing waste towards reprocessing it into products, landfilling and other final solutions Converting waste materials into materials, or substances usable heat, electricity, or fuel [1] Recycling includes composting but does not include incineration. To ensure our waste management is aligned with regional regulation and industry best practices, while considering newly available technological solutions, our site teams periodically review the performance of waste management practices to implement updates and changes. Waste data is collected quarterly and reported annually through this report. Waste management in action The classification of waste as hazardous or non-hazardous at our facilities depends on the applicable regional regulations. We frequently look to implement industry best practices to minimize our total waste footprint and turn hazardous waste into non-hazardous waste. Arxada’s waste footprint 75,000 t Hazardous waste 60,000 t Non-hazardous waste 45,000 t 30,000 t 15,000 t 0 2021 2022 In 2022, as part of our ongoing process optimization work, we discovered some of the hazardous waste we produced in Visp (Switzerland) can be sent to an external waste treatment plant for further purification. By using separation technologies like distillation, we can extract some of the oen expensive and GHG intense solvents from the waste to recycle and reuse in our processes. This allows us to keep materials in the system longer, reducing raw material purchasing costs, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting circularity in our processes.
