While waste management takes place at many levels, it is characterised by local decisions, as local conditions, criteria and preferences play an important role in defining a successful waste management system.
In Danisco, we prioritise our waste management by:
Danisco’s total amount of waste decreased significantly from 2007 to 2008, mainly due to a reduction of 80% in the amount of non-hazardous waste from our sweeteners plant in Anyang, China, because an abnormal situation resulted in a production stop.
Many other divisional sites, however, also contributed to the overall reduction. We see a significant reduction in the total amount of hazardous waste as well.
The reduction in hazardous waste is due to the regulatory reclassification at the Cultures plant in Vinay, France.
