The primary industrial waste streams that were recycled were cardboard packaging, wood pallets, and plastics related to products or packaging. New questionnaires about waste were sent to non-industrial sites for the first time during 2013 in recognition of their increased significance in the Group EHS profile due to headcount and surface area. It helped these sites begin to focus on their waste streams, although work remains to more completely measure and categorize this waste generation.
For 2019, the overall reported non-industrial waste was significant at about 8.6% of the Group total tonnage, with approximately 170 tons of hazardous waste from non-industrial locations (batteries, mercury-containing bulbs, e-waste). New for 2016 was the first recognition of organic composting as part of recycled waste, with about
33 tons reported during 2019.
