51 Ecology Bützberg site The wood waste which we use for heating, continues to account for the largest share of recyclable waste at 86%. This share of waste has increased compared with the previous reporting period, since our heating requirements were higher due to the weather, and we were also able to further reduce the use of fossil fuels for emergency operation. The remaining waste, both recyclable and non-recyclable, has not only decreased compared to the total amount of waste, but also decreased in absolute numbers. This can certainly be attributed in part to our efforts to reduce waste; but our progress here has been most marked in the field of packaging. Waste volumes however will also remain project-dependent. Particularly in remanufacturing projects, peaks in disposal may also occur in the future. Overall, we were able to exceed our target of recycling at least 88% of our waste with an achieved 93%. We also intend to maintain this target of 88% for the next reporting period. Endingen site At the Endingen site, the amount of non-recyclable waste increased slightly by 6%. However, we succeeded in reducing the total amount of waste by 12% during the reporting period. At the Endingen site, too, the reductions were observed primarily in wood, cardboard and plastic film. In effect, the typical packaging materials that we are contin- ually trying to minimise and reuse directly so that waste does not occur in the first place. Due to the general reduction in the amount of waste generated, the non-recyclable part was brought into sharper focus. Unfortunately, we therefore did not achieve our objective of maintaining this share at a minimum of 84%. Over the reporting period, the recyclable share fell to 81%. In the reporting period ahead, however, we wish to maintain our target of at least 84% and to reduce our non-recyclable share of waste to the same extent as that for our total waste.
