To address our negative impact of materials wasted, we have a 'Waste management policy', covering all our activities and locations. The policy outlines our waste management processes and provides detailed definitions of key aspects of waste management assurance. Our QHSE department is responsible for its ongoing implementation. As the policy is the steering document for our internal way of working with waste and thus contains detailed guidance on waste handling and data reporting for our global waste operations, the policy is only accessible internally.

Our collaborations with Plaswire and SOLARCYCLE are examples of how we engage with partners on our material resource-related impacts. Over the past few years, we have successfully carried out several small-scale recycling pilots in the US and the UK and will continue to leverage retired blades and panels from our assets to help accelerate the maturation of promising, innovative, recycling technologies and solutions in our markets going forward.
