Waste
-
We will minimise wastes in all activities.
-
We will manage the disposal of waste, where it is unavoidably created, in the most appropriate manner giving full consideration to environmental issues.
We are committed to the prudent use of all natural resources and the minimisation of wastes in all activities from the specification of incoming raw materials, the use of materials in production activities and packaging, and the transmission of materials into the supply chain. Where waste is unavoidably created we will manage its disposal in the most appropriate manner giving full consideration to environmental issues. One of the most important impact areas for Manufacturing and Supply is waste generation, the management of which must be carefully controlled so that any hazardous substances or contaminated materials are disposed of correctly.
Our ultimate aim is to be zero to landfill and to achieve this target we have upgraded our database to collate waste data for all of our Manufacturing and Logistics centres. All of our sites are encouraged to increase reuse, recovery, or recycling of waste (where locally available).
