Our operations inevitably produce waste, but we have protocols in place to reduce the amount of it sent to landfills. We have strategies for monetizing materials through alliances with recycling partners, as well form managing and separating the waste generated in our properties, handling hazardous waste and reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. To learn more about our waste management, we invite you to read our

WASTE GENERATED (t)
Non-recycled	12,138.34

Hazardous	6.89
Total	14,020.74

Hazardous waste generation last year depended directly on the number of preventive maintenance tasks carried out, as well as the number of collections requested from the specialized supplier. The waste was stored until enough was accumulated for a collection—up to the regulatory maximum of six months.

The supplier receives and collects the hazardous waste generated, under authorization by the SEMARNAT.. When the supplier arrives, the waste is reviewed and checked against the documentation provided, making sure that it matches the manifest. Subsequently, it is classified according to physicochemical characteristics and environmental guidelines, as either contaminated solids or contaminated liquids. The waste is then directed to treatment and/or final disposal by incineration, recycling, treatment or co-processing.

From 2022 to 2023 we reduced the generation of non-recyclable waste by 18% and increased the amount of recycled waste by 30%.
