Towards zero waste

We strive to minimize waste wherever possible. Our mantra is "Reduce, Recycle, Recycle", where the focus is on moving the waste higher up the waste ladder to avoid it occurring from the beginning. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 15 of our facilities have reached the goal of zero waste to landfill. To verify this statement, we have engaged the internationally recognized non-governmental organization Carbon Trust.
