The waste is fed into a proper recycling system. Hazardous waste as a component of production waste occurs only irregularly and in small quantities. All waste fractions are regularly checked by our waste management officer for avoidance and recovery optimization. In 2012 a way was found to recycle the backing paper for labels which previously had been disposed of with residual waste. The absolute increase in waste quantities in 2015 resulted from the scrapping of production facilities parts (14 tons) after the transfer of production from Mainz to Hallein, from the disposal of production waste (6.5 tons), which is required every two years, and the disposal of packaging material no longer needed (4 tons). Particularly noteworthy is the substantial decline of about 10 tons (= 25 percent) in residual waste requiring disposal. The reduction is attributed to the recycling of 29 tons of silicone-coated backing paper for labels which once had to be discarded as residual waste and to the avoidance of 66 tons of CO 2 emissions. Because the produced quantity decreased by 36  percent, there was, however, an increase of 24  percent per kilogram in the core indicator shown on the right. Environmental Statement · Hallein site
