Waste

We are aware that waste generation is an inherent part of our properties’ operation. We therefore focus our efforts on continuously improving waste management, to reduce the amount of non-recyclable waste sent to landfills. We implement initiatives to encourage waste recovery at the source, starting with an on-site separation process and partnering with recycling suppliers that guarantee its reuse. We also manage hazardous waste responsibly through suppliers accredited by the relevant environmental authorities, thereby strengthening our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and operating sustainably. To learn more about our waste management strategy, we invite you to read our Environmental Policy.

WASTE GENERATED (t)
Non-recycled	10,709.68
Recycled	2,696.63
Hazardous	5.15
Total	13,411.46

Thanks to the strengthening of our operational practices around waste management, we reduced the amount of non-recyclable waste generated in 2024 by 12% compared to 2023.

Hazardous waste generation last year was directly determined by 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 Ministry of the Environment. 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.
