Waste Management Report 2025 – Transparency, Responsibility and a Strong Circular Mindset

Our annual waste and resource management analysis for 2025 is complete, and the results clearly demonstrate: responsible recycling and efficient material use are deeply embedded in our processes. Beyond regulatory compliance, we see waste management as a core element of sustainable operations.

Consistent Separation of All Material Streams
Across all areas of the company, every waste stream is carefully and consistently separated — from paper and cardboard to wood, metals and internal plastic fractions generated during production. Many of these materials are already recycled or recovered at rates of up to 100%, depending on the waste category.

This quality of recycling is only possible thanks to our dedicated teams, who
• fill waste containers correctly and cleanly,
• separate clean from mixed plastics,
• challenge established routines and continuously improve processes.

Recycling Rate of 75%
Our evaluation shows a recycling and recovery rate of 75%, confirming that our structured separation practices and process optimizations have a measurable impact.
This contributes significantly to conserving natural resources and strengthening the principles of circularity within our operations.

A Detailed Annual Waste Report as a Management Tool
Working with a specialized waste management partner, we receive a precise annual breakdown of all material flows, including disposal routes, associated costs, credits and savings.

This level of insight allows us to:
• track the development of each waste fraction over the year,
• identify deviations from the previous period,
• pinpoint optimization potential,
• and implement targeted improvement measures.

Based on this data, we can make well founded decisions:
• how to further improve sorting processes,
• which disposal methods should be adjusted,
• and where we can achieve additional cost savings or environmental improvements.

Recycling as a Core Part of Our Corporate Culture
For us, one thing is clear: recycling is not a project — it is a mindset.
It is lived through everyday actions and through the people who make these processes work.

Our 2025 waste report shows that this approach delivers strong results and provides a solid foundation as we continue to take responsibility for the resources we use.
