WASTE - MATERIAL RECYCLING Material recycling com
bines profitability with environmental benefits. By reusing materials and letting them live on in new products, a recycling is created that is of great benefit. Efficient material recycling means reduced costs for us and society as a whole. In addition, the recycling of materials contributes to reduce the climate impact. Our business generates large volumes of waste, which contributes to a negative impact on the environment in cases where the waste cannot be recycled. GOAL Our goal is to achieve an average material recycling of 70%. RESULTS • 69.1% material recycling is a marginal improvement (0.3%) compared to 2019. • The proportion of material recycling corresponds to a reduced climate impact by 2,661.9 ton of CO2-eq. ANALYSIS The performance of our dealerships is monitored on an ongoing basis with a focus on facility-specific information such as statistics on waste types collected, including transports and volumes. By reducing the number of partners in waste management, we also create good conditions for enforcing improvement measures in respective market. During the year, we had limited opportunities to work on site with local improvements due to Covid-19. During the year, we centrally analyzed Hedin Bil's waste streams to identify possible improvements. General shortcomings identified for the dealerships that do not perform in line with our goal are above all that there was a lack of opportunities to sort waste fractions efficiently. Concrete examples are the lack of vessels and containers for certain significant waste fractions, incorrectly dimensioned bins and containers as well as a lack of labeling of what is to be sorted out in the bins and containers in question. We have also identified waste fractions which in part have been incorrectly classified and thus affected the proportion of recycled waste locally.
