3.4.2. Industrial waste
Target (related to disposal)
Maintaining performance level of 2010
Industrial waste consists of general waste
from the production process, waste wood
and sewage sludge. The volumes for each
component are listed in Appendix 2.
Status of measures in this plan period
The volumes of industrial waste have been
more or less consistent in recent years. Research
on possible reductions in 2011 did not
yield significant results, so that for now,
maintaining current performance levels remains
the most practicable target.
3.4.3 Re-usable waste
Target (related to disposal)
Maintaining performance level of 2007-2009
Re-usable waste consists of metal, wood
(pallets) and paper waste (paper/board/
cores). The volumes for each component are
listed in Appendix 2.
Status of measures in this plan period
The volumes of re-usable waste have been
more or less consistent in recent years. The
target is to maintain the performance levels of
2007 – 2009. In 2010 and 2011, a once-only
volume of broke has been disposed of, causing
a result slightly above the set target.
Sappi Nijmegen BV produces only reels,
which means that all packaging at the mill
consists of reel packaging. The material used
is paper and the process of packaging is always
closely monitored, because of strict demands
for both quality and safety, especially
during handling. What this means, is that there
is little or no margin for manipulation of nature
or volume. Amount and type of packaging
material are, however, constant
issues of consideration and regular assessment.
The high volume in 2010 is caused by onceonly
disposal of rejected paper reels.
3.4.4 Hazardous waste
Target (related to disposal)
Maintaining performance level of 2010
Hazardous waste consists of used oil, oil and
water mixtures, solid oil containing waste,
miscellaneous and small hazardous waste.
The volumes for each component are listed in
Appendix 2.
Status of measures in this plan period
The volumes of hazardous waste have been
more or less consistent in recent years. The decrease
as compared to 2010 is caused by the
absence of disposals of small hazardous waste
in 2011. This type of waste, in contrast to used
oil, can be collected and constitutes a more or
less regular stream of waste. The target is
maintaining the performance level of 2010.
3.4.5 Material efficiency
Material efficiency for the production of paper
at Sappi Nijmegen BV refers to the yearly bulk
stream of used raw materials and additives,
expressed in tons (with the exception of energy
carriers and water).
