Filter Cyclone Powder kitchen Spray booth Powder coating line ML02 GRI 103-2 Most waste is generated in production processes. We work to cut down the volume of waste by re- ducing the materials consumed, reusing them in the pro- duction process and recycling. As a result, we have man- aged to significantly reduce the amount of waste in the recent years. Hazardous waste and products that cannot be reused or processed are collected by third-party companies. In line with the circular economy model , we have a number of measures in place to minimise waste (   Click to find out more ). In 2018, we introduced a station plastics grinder in the Plastic Factory in Jasło to turn back production waste im- mediately during production. It grinds waste – items that have failed quality requirements, and sprue generated in the production of plastic components. Up to 100% of this type of waste can be reused. When shredded, it can be used for production as a full-value material. In this way, production of some industrial waste is avoided. Foams, remnants of leather and fabrics – in many cases, we can reuse them in the production process. To reclaim heat energy, we incinerate wood chips and sawdust in boil- er rooms in our plants, providing surplus heat to individual homeowners for household heating purposes. 6.3 Waste management 102 Table of contents
