Minimising waste
Atresmedia
strives to reduce the amount of waste to the minimum necessary and manage its
essential waste in the most suitable way. To do this, the following actions are conducted:
__
Asking suppliers to remove the packaging for the materials so that it can be reused or des-
tined for other possible uses.
__
Removal of waste generated from scrap and cabling in the facilities by authorised waste
managers.
__
Use of bins specifically for white paper next to copying and multifunction machines for sub-
sequent transfer to the recycling plant.
__
Maintaining the requirement to hand in used toner cartridges to obtain new ones.
These measures have led to a 3% reduction in paper and cardboard destined for recycling and
a 2% reduction in urban waste. The increase in building debris recorded in 2014 was a result of
carrying out refurbishment work to the controls and studios.
