When waste enters landfill sites, it can cause serious problems – like water pollution, damage to animal habitats, and negative effects on human health. In 2020, Grünenthal’s teams set themselves the ambitious goal of sending absolutely zero waste to landfills from our manufacturing facilities. Today, just one year later, we have achieved this target at all of our production sites around the globe. From separating waste in the production area through to raising awareness and exploring fresh ideas for how to reduce, reuse and recycle more waste to finally identifying incineration opportunities for which recycling is not practical yet: Together, our teams have made a big contribution to cutting our company’s impact on the planet.
