1. Reducing Waste
Waste reduction has always been a key objective as part of continual improvement in environmental and overallbusiness performance.
There was an objective in 2011 to reduce overall waste to landfill to comply with the new legislation and wastehierarchy requirements. Also to reduce costs of waste disposal which are increasing substantially year on year. Anew outlet for our hazardous waste was found after it had been allowed to weather to reduce its monomer content as
a low quality material for processing in Asia. This material has been renamed Z grade and will continue to be sold in2012.
