Circularity

Reference image

For Etex, waste is not waste, but a valuable resource which can be repurposed and turned into something new. In 2021, we identified a plan of leading circular economy in our sector. We have distinguished a set of goals for 2030 covering the full spectrum of our value chain. In the meantime, we optimised our current processes related to waste management and responsible sourcing, innovation and collaboration, and focused on the circular benefits of our products.

Our goal is to achieve zero waste sent to landfill by 2030

One of our circularity priorities is to achieve 100% diversion of waste ending up in landfill. Overall in 2022, waste sent to landfill has been stable, with a slight decrease in our non-hazardous waste from 63,473 in 2021 to 61,732 T.
