ProSiebenSat.1 is not an industrial enterprise with a large number of production sites; most of the Group’s waste therefore comprises mixed municipal waste, organic excavated soil and construction waste. We aim to contribute as many waste products as possible to the recycling loop and select our disposal partners on this basis. This approach is reflected above all in the ratio of non-hazardous materials recycled, which in Unterföhring was 88% in 2017 (previous year: 86%). The volume of construction waste increased (2017: 211 t, 2016: 3 t) due to the restructuring of the campus in Unterföhring. With regard to normal waste, however, there were reductions in municipal waste (2017: 228 t, 2016: 248 t), packaging waste (2017: 6 t, 2016: 32 t) and electrical appliances (2017: 3 t, 2016: 9 t). We dispose of waste that cannot be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. We follow local requirements and classify waste as hazardous or non-hazardous according to the relevant national laws. As in the previous year, hazardous waste – e.g. certain old electrical appliances and insulating materials – comprised only a small proportion of total waste at around six tons in the period under review.
