RESOURCE USE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Targets related to waste [E5-3]
All targets are voluntary and are not prescribed by law. The following targets apply to all of the Zumtobel Group’s production sites.
• Reduce total waste from 4,612 tonnes in 2025/26 to 4,418 tonnes in 2026/27
• E5-3, T3 | Reduce non-recyclable waste from 379 tonnes in 2025/26 to 377 tonnes in 2026/27
• E5-3, T4 | Reduce the volume of production waste from non-renewable materials relative to material consumption to 9.2% in 2026/27 from 10.7% in 2025/26 The goal behind reducing total waste and non-recyclable waste in the production plants is to avoid waste. Use of the ratio of production waste volume of non-renewable materials to mate- rial consumption is designed to prevent and encourage sparing use of valuable resources. The main goal the Zumtobel Group hopes to achieve in its efforts to reduce waste is avoi- ding the generation of waste in the first place. This goes hand in hand with the processes for increasing the utilisation rate of materials and substances. The next stage involves reusing and recycling recyclable materials both internally and externally. Substances and materials are only sent for thermal processing as a last resort. However, due to successful waste avoidance, reduction and recycling, the share of substances and materials sent for thermal processing is very low at the Zumtobel Group.
Focus on customer-specific packaging in the Components segment
The successful transition to cardboard packaging has already created a solid basis for the Components segment to meet the future requirements of the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) in terms of recycling content and recyclability. Special attention is now being paid to adapting the remaining packaging, in particular customer- specific solutions. The Components segment is also committed to fully converting these packaging solutions to recyclable materials.
