We are acting to reduce the generation of waste, from both packaging and processed textile fibres, and to promote a cultural change inside and outside the Group
In line with the Global Compliance Programme, OTB closely monitors the risk of environmental crime, working with authorised transporters to ensure safe and proper recovery of waste. Hazardous waste is managed with disposal procedures aligned with current regulations. The data monitoring and collection system ensures full manufacturer traceability and correct waste sourcing.
In 2024, the Group completed a strategic assessment for the purpose of obtaining ISO 14001 certification (environment), a vital step in the consolidation of our sustainability commitment. The assessment found that environmental issues were managed effectively, with a constant focus on compliance with regulatory requirements and a proactive approach to activity and project planning.
In 2024 a Waste Management Procedure was published, which describes and establishes roles, responsibilities and activities for proper waste management. It sets out protocols for process waste characterisation, management, control, handling and transfer to third parties, and provides the necessary tools and registration forms.
We completed the standardisation of the waste management process and selected a qualified supplier for the transportation and end-of-life management of Group waste in the Veneto region. This vital step gives us closer control of documentation and greater visibility over the entire waste management chain.
