Total non-hazardous waste disposed by the Group in 2015 amounted to 87,975,888 Kg, which was 3.9%
more than in the previous year. The overall rise with respect to the previous year, largely due to the increase
in non-hazardous waste generated by the optical fibre category, was mostly caused by exceptional cleaning
activities, as well as by the on-site scrapping of machinery.
The reduction in non-hazardous waste generated by the accessories category in 2015, on the other hand,
was partly due to the transfer of one category of waste from non-hazardous to hazardous.
