1. Waste Management
Reducing our waste production has always been a high priority at ZCEL as we aim toreduce our environmental impact and at the same time increase our production efficiency.
The main improvement activity in 2013 has been to reduce the total amount of waste

and the waste will be sent to external facilities for treatment after we reduce the waste
