Waste management

How we manage waste

We're on the lookout for ways to reduce waste, and one of these is by progressively improving our production processes. Elsewhere, we promote waste management in our operations with reuse and recycling criteria, technical and regulatory conditions permitting. We also use certain wastes as alternative raw materials in specific industrial processes.

In line with our circular economy principles, we guide the management of waste generated by our operations according to the waste hierarchy: prioritizing prevention first, then reuse, and recycling afterwards. This approach, which is included in our Environmental Policy and involves interacting with the value chain, seeks to keep materials within economic cycles whenever feasible and is applied throughout the entire life cycle of our activities. It is also integrated into our environmental management systems, which facilitates regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.

To this end, we identify, classify, and analyze waste streams in detail, applying specific procedures for their management and ensuring their control and traceability. We also select authorized processors for processing and monitoring their final destination, promoting recovery versus disposal. This way, we reduce the risks involved in waste management and minimize the impact of our activities on the environment.
