Clarifications / Comments
The quantities of the company’s waste did not
vary significantly compared to 2011. A major
achievement for the company during 2012 was
the permanent discontinuation of the disposal of
bauxite residues (red mud) at sea.
20% of all hazardous waste produced by the
company are recycled.
The increase of the quantity of non-hazardous
waste of METKA S.A. is primarily the result of the
emphasis which was given on the provision of
relevant information and training to employees,
which increased their sensitisation, and to the
increase in the number of waste collection points
in company facilities .
100% of all waste produced by the company
are recycled.
The significant increase of company's total waste
arises from the commercial operation of two new
power production plants during 2012. The
company also produced 50,840m3 of liquid
waste, of which 3,340 m3 were recycled and the
rest (47,500 m3) were delivered to the waste
treatment plant of MOTOR OIL S.A.
100% of all waste produced by the company
are recycled.
An increase by 72.9% of hazardous waste was
posted in the company, due to the existence of a
stock of mud from natural separation (dating back
to 2011), which was disposed through a certified
organisation during 2012. Correspondingly, the
reduction of the quantity of non-hazardous waste
(-27,5%) is due to the lower quantity of waste
produced (tyres and scrap).
100% of all hazardous waste produced by the
company are recycled.
The company posted a reduction in the quantity
of its waste (-71.5%), as a result of the reduced
quantities of batteries and paper for recycling,
given also that in 2011 these quantities had been
significantly higher due to the clearance of
warehouses and archives and to the recycling of
old paper files.
100% of all waste produced by the company
are recycled.
