Alings\u00e5s diverts\u00a0100%\u00a0of its waste by reusing, recycling, and converting it to energy and is the first ABB site in Sweden to receive the certification. Employees have also taken the initiative to reduce waste, opting for\u00a0reusable cups\u00a0instead of paper ones, sending\u00a0broken wooden pallets for repair\u00a0and optimizing\u00a0waste sorting.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ABB V\u00e4ster\u00e5s has also received a platinum\u00a0rating for sending Zero Waste to Landfill. By improving and optimizing waste sorting, reducing combustible waste sent to energy recovery and a strong sustainability culture, the site diverts 100% of its waste. The site’s diverse sustainability group is one key for the success and was a driver in the work sending wood waste for reuse in furniture instead of energy recovery.<\/p>\n Italy<\/p>\n
