IT (CURRENT) Home Sustainability Environment Waste management Waste management Eni manages the waste produced by its operations through containment measures, traceability and controls across the entire chain. How Eni keeps control Eni manages the waste produced by its activities by ensuring process traceability and through control of all stages of that process. The waste from our operations in 2015 amounted to about 1.2m tons, an increase of 5.7 per cent on the previous year, both for hazardous waste (up by 18,000 tons or approximately 6.8 per cent) and non-hazardous waste (up by 45,000 tons or approximately 5.3 per cent). This growing trend is attributable to the exploration and production sector, where hazardous waste increased mainly due to the clean-up activities at the Brass site run by our NAOC subsidiary in Nigeria. The increase in non-hazardous waste was related to the construction and start-up of new plants in Val d’Agri, Angola and Egypt. Conversely, in other areas the trend in the generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste is downwards. Beware of waste We manage the waste produced by our activities through the traceability of the process and control of the entire supply chain.
