The principal types of waste generated by production
activities have been split into specific categories,
classifying their level of danger (hazardous waste and
non-hazardous waste) according to the related European
classification system, regardless of the waste's country
of origin and disposal. The various types of waste that
do not fall into the categories specified on the reporting
forms represent exceptions. These are reported in the two
residual categories: "other hazardous waste" and "other
WASTE
non-hazardous waste" including, for example, laboratory
chemicals. In such cases, waste is classified in one category
or the other depending on local laws and regulations.
The following chart shows the total quantity of waste
disposed of by the Group's operating units, analysed
between hazardous and non-hazardous using the criteria
indicated above.
Charts and related results for hazardous and non-hazardous
waste are presented below.
