OUR ENVIRONMENT Recycling & waste
2021 2022
We recycled 70% of our waste in 2022. This is down from the previous year when we recycled 83% of our waste.
This decrease is primarily due to a one-off project in the past year to dispose of customers’ obsolete stock, which
could not be recycled.
We continue to explore ways to reduce waste that goes to landfills, including expanding the number and size of
our recycling bins to encourage better recycling. We have also enhanced our monitoring procedures to ensure
recyclable material doesn’t end up as waste. We continue to engage with our suppliers, encouraging them to
replace non-recyclable packaging with recyclable alternatives.
