Save material and recycle<br />
At our production facilities, the waste is disposed of by<br />
professional disposal companies. The production at our<br />
plants uses many recyclable materials. Clean collection and<br />
separation as well as the reduction of production waste are<br />
essential starting points for establishing a circular economy<br />
and, therefore, form part of our sustainability strategy.<br />
Material<br />
2025: Mixed municipal waste at 8%<br />
2025: Roadmap to increase the<br />
share of secondary raw<br />
materials and the recyclability<br />
of primary raw materials<br />
2030: -50% waste per trailer<br />
We intend to reduce the waste that<br />
we generate to less than 160 kilograms<br />
per trailer by 2030.<br />
The waste per trailer produced will be halved by 2030, namely<br />
to less than 160 kilograms per trailer in relation to the financial<br />
year 2021 / 22. The proportion of mixed municipal waste will<br />
be reduced to 8% by 2025. Accordingly, integrated waste<br />
concepts are being developed for all production sites. An<br />
international team of waste experts met at the beginning of<br />
20<strong>23</strong> to exchange their experience with the various locations<br />
and to develop common standards.<br />
-17.2%<br />
less mixed municipal waste and<br />
recycling rate increased by 8.7%<br />
Working in coordination with the waste management companies,<br />
improved separation systems to increase recycling<br />
rates were introduced. Training and visualisations served to<br />
raise the awareness of the employees at all production sites<br />
to reducing and separating waste.<br />
