b. Waste management<br />

Today, collective consideration in favor of environmental protection has seen the emergence of<br />

new kinds of waste recovery. As new processes are created, the Weleda laboratories search for<br />

improved methods of dealing with the generation of waste materials, and seek to ensure the<br />

maximum possible recovery of such materials.<br />

The waste generated by Weleda is in the main packaging materials (cardboard, wood, plastics),<br />

manufacturing spoils (out-of-date, non-adapted), and office scrap paper.<br />

Only a small part of the waste, less than 3% is considered dangerous: the reactive used for quality<br />

control of raw materials and the final products, and the development of analysis. The proportion<br />

represented by this element decreased by 25% in 2008, compared with the figure for 2007.<br />

Recycling and heat generation<br />

2008 has seen significant developments in the field of waste management within Weleda; despite<br />

production volumes having increased during the year 2008, the quantity of waste generated has<br />

not significantly changed.<br />
