Waste management (direct waste)

By following this action plan, the organization will be able to improve the eco-efficiency of its products while valorizing manufacturing by-products, thus contributing to a more sustainable and efficient management of resources.

1. Definition of objectives:

- Establish eco-efficiency objectives: Determine specific goals to improve the eco-efficiency of products, such as reducing energy and resource consumption throughout the product life cycle.

- Identify valorizable by-products: Define the by-products generated by manufacturing and the opportunities for energy recovery.

2. Evaluation of current processes:

- Analyze manufacturing processes: Evaluate existing processes to identify areas where eco-efficiency can be improved and where by-products can be valorized.

- Map by-products: Identify the types of by-products generated, their volume, and their potential for valorization.

3. Development of eco-efficiency strategies:

- Optimize product design: Integrate eco-efficiency principles into product design to minimize waste and resource use.

- Improve production processes: Modify manufacturing processes to reduce waste and maximize resource efficiency.

4. Valorization of by-products:

- Explore energy recovery options: Research technologies and methods to convert by-products into energy, such as biomass or heat recovery.

- Establish partnerships: Collaborate with specialized companies or partners to facilitate the energy recovery of by-products.

5. Implementation of practices:

- Adapt production processes: Introduce process changes to improve eco-efficiency and integrate by-product recovery practices.

- Install equipment: Equip facilities with the necessary technology for the energy recovery of by-products.

6. Training and awareness raising:

- Train staff: Educate employees on new eco-efficiency practices and by-product recovery techniques.

- Promote eco-efficiency culture: Raise awareness throughout the organization on the importance of eco-efficiency and by-product recovery.

7. Monitoring and evaluation:

- Develop performance indicators: Create indicators to measure the effectiveness of new practices in terms of waste reduction, resource savings, and energy recovery.

- Evaluate results: Regularly monitor performance to assess gains made and identify opportunities for improvement.

8. Continuous improvement:

- Analyze feedback: Collect feedback from stakeholders and adjust strategies accordingly.

- Update practices: Continuously review and improve eco-efficiency and by-product recovery processes based on new technologies and best practices.

9. Communication and reporting:

- Inform stakeholders: Communicate the results and benefits of eco-efficiency and by-product recovery initiatives to internal and external stakeholders.

- Publish reports: Provide periodic reports on progress made in eco-efficiency and energy recovery.
