Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Environmental protection, innovation, and safety / Production / Waste prevention and recycling Waste prevention and recycling Waste Waste – Scrap metal for reuse When it comes to waste management, Daimler believes that prevention and recycling are better than disposal. Accordingly, the reconditioning and reuse of raw, process, and operating materials has been standard practice at the Group for many years now. Moreover, innovative technologies and eco-friendly production planning processes are used in order to avoid the creation of waste from the outset. Total waste resulting from production-related activities in 2007 amounted to 1.166 million tons, which was roughly the same level as in the previous year. Of this total, 69 percent consisted of almost completely recycled scrap metal, 24 percent was industrial waste (72 percent of which was recycled), and 8 percent was hazardous waste (78 percent of which was recycled). The substantial increase in the percentage of waste that was recycled as compared to the previous year resulted primarily from a decline in the share of the total waste (both hazardous and non-hazardous) that had to be disposed of. Additional data on waste prevention and recycling can be found here. Some of the input data was incorrectly calculated and had to be corrected following the printed report's editorial deadline. This data will therefore deviate from that found in the printed report.
Daimler 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008 Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Environmental protection, innovation, and safety / Production / Water protection Water protection Daimler’s aim in terms of water protection is to use this precious commodity as sparingly as possible and to avoid contaminating water resources. In order to conserve water, resource-efficient techniques such as closedloop systems are used. As a result, the specific water consumption per vehicle built at Daimler has fallen dramatically in recent years. Water protection In 2007, Daimler consumed 15.2 million cubic meters of water. Compared with the previous year (14.7 million cubic meters), this represents an increase in consumption of approximately 3 percent, which was largely due to new production launches. Most of the production plants do not channel their wastewater into rivers, but instead into local water treatment plants through the public sewer system. However, because of the multitude of possible materials contained in wastewater and the differences between local regulations, Daimler does not comprehensively document the relevant statistics. Detailed local figures can, however, be found in the environmental reports of the various production plants. Additional data on water consumption can be found here.
