EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR WASTE TO PROMOTE

The Group generates different types of waste while manufacturing its products: paste-like residue, organic waste, sludge from the internal treatment of euent, used edible oils, packaging waste (paper, cardboard, metal, plastic), glass, solvents, etc. Our waste management policy is based on three axes: ■ reduce the hazardous waste generated by our activities at source; ■ increase the proportion of our recovered waste (recycled or incinerated with energy recovery); ■ raise awareness among our employees about selective sorting. Here are some examples of what our industrial sites have put in place over the last ten years. In India, our production units in Angamaly and Byadgi transform plant waste from their extraction processes into fuel to supply their biomass boilers. In France, the organic waste from our extraction activities and the sludge generated by our wastewater treatment plant are sent to an external partner for composting. All of our paper and cardboard waste is sorted and recycled, as are all non-soiled metal drums and plastic packaging. Our wooden pallets are all reused if in good condition; otherwise, they are recycled. In total, 92% of the waste generated at the Bar-sur-Loup site and 99.5% at Quéven is recycled. In Mexico, employee awareness-raising actions and the reinforcement of selective sorting have increased the proportion of recycled waste from 63% to 98% from 2009 to 2021. At our USA site (MANE Inc.), we increased the waste recovery rate from 45% to 70% from 2016 to 2021 by directing part of the waste to a local incineration channel with energy recovery. -12% HAZARDOUS WASTE PER TONNE SINCE 2009 At the end of 2021, at Group level, we managed to reduce the total amount of hazardous waste generated per tonne of product by only 12%, compared to 2009. As a result, we did not attain our target of 33%. 85% of our hazardous waste comes from the Bar-sur-Loup site, where the implementation of new encapsulation and coating processes for encapsulated flavours since 2019 generates significant quantities of complex waste to be treated. A few areas of reflection are being explored to reduce them and encourage their internal processing. It is nevertheless important to mention that our initial target of a 33% reduction was not realistic. We noted that it is not technically possible to achieve it.

81% OF WASTE RECOVERED

However, 80.5% of our waste was recovered (recycling or incineration with energy recovery), compared to 69% in 2009. As a result, we achieved the target we had set ourselves for 2021. In 2021, 10.6% of our waste was sent to landfill. From now until 2030, we will focus our efforts on a goal of zero waste to landfill.
