"Thanks to the task of separation at source and subsequent delivery to a legally authorised manager, in 2018, we achieved about 83% of our hazardous waste recycled, valued and suitably processed for recovery. This prevents that our hazardous waste is sent to a landfill and reduces the need to obtain new raw materials."
