Reducing and managing waste
Waste
reduction and management is another key focus for manufacturing sites where
waste screening has been established for many years.
Production process waste recycling is often above 85%. This is because
manufacturing yields are quite high, and both plastic and lead-frame skeleton
waste are separated for recycling.
Waste indicators for 2010 also show positive results compared to 2009:
Global waste is stable at just below 4,500 tons –
the main contribution coming from sites producing laminated plastic products.
This is positive as the addition of Johannesburg and Barueri represents
an extra 100 tons. Laminated products have also increased significantly at Latin
American and Asia sites;
Global % of waste valorization shows a significant increase at 77% versus 66% in 2009 .
