Disposal

ProSiebenSat.1 is not an industrial company with numerous production sites, so most of the Group’s waste volume comprises mixed municipal waste. We are consistently pursuing the aim of putting as many waste products as possible into the recycling loop, and we select our waste disposal partners accordingly. This approach is reflected primarily by the rate of material recycling among non-hazardous waste: 87 % in Unterföhring for 2016. We dispose of non-recyclable waste in an environmentally responsible way. We follow local regulations and classify waste as hazardous or non-hazardous according to the applicable national laws. In 2016, the quantity of non-hazardous waste in Unterföhring amounted to around 530 tons (99 %). Hazardous waste, e.g. certain waste electrical equipment and insulation materials, accounted for just a small proportion of the total waste volume in the reporting period at around six tons. [G4-EN23]
