ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
WASTE DERIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Taghleef Industries has always been involved in specific activities to optimize its production processes
with the aim to reduce and rationalize the use of raw materials. These activities have positively
impacted the reduction of scraps and the possibility to reuse them.
A high attention to the product quality does not allow the recovery of all the production scraps and
their subsequent regeneration. The amount left is recycled by specialized companies in order to use
it as a less valuable secondary raw material and therefore not suitable for food contact.
The following raw materials are currently recovered using internal regeneration plants:
Even though polypropylene waste products that are not reclaimed by Taghleef Industries S.p.A. are
characterized by a high request and a specific market value, they are in any case managed as waste
with the aim to guarantee the highest respect of law prescriptions.
Most of the waste produced by Taghleef Industries S.p.A. is subject to a recovery process and the
percentage of waste disposed has been reduced during the years, stabilizing at nearly 1.5% of the
total amount of waste produced in 2011.
