Waste management
We optimize our production processes to minimize waste generation. At Repsol, we manage waste throughout the entire lyfe cycle of our processes by encouraging reusing and recycling. Also, we internally recover third-party waste as alternative raw materials to manufacture our products in our more sustainable way.
Our management tools
At Repsol, we actively manage waste according to the waste hierarchy principles: we give priority to prevention, followed by minimisation, we prioritise reuse and recycling and, where this is not possible, we try to recover or send it for disposal as the last possible option.
In addition, we regularly draw up a detailed waste inventory which, together with the associated indicators, helps us to measure our performance, analyse areas for improvement, and propose specific actions focused on complying with the waste hierarchy and minimising the impact of waste on the environment. We also share experiences and lessons learned among our industrial sites to ensure that best available management practices are always used.
