In accordance with internal procedures that have been set, the Company transparently manages the entire waste treatment process from generation, storage, transfer to final disposal, and minimizes waste disposal by saving resources and managing according to 3R principles. The waste produced is legally managed on its own where there are a part of it that is handed over to the third parties
Waste management is carried out according to the type and characteristics of the waste. ITM manages non-B3 solid waste and toxic and hazardous (B3) waste by complying with all applicable regulations. Non-B3 solid waste in the form of organic waste is used as compost according to the 3R principle (reuse, reduce, recycle) while plastic, paper and other domestic waste is handed over to third parties and the local government's temporary shelter (TPS). The B3 solid waste is accommodated in TPS owned by the Company to be submitted and managed by a third party who has a B3 waste management permit; some of the B3 solid waste they recycle.
We conduct evaluation to improve waste management performance through perpetual audits. By this way, all of the Company’s waste is properly managed.
The evaluation of waste management is carried out through an assessment mechanism for periodic reporting to the authorities. The results of the evaluation will be used as a material for reducing the amount of B3 waste managed by 3R due to a decrease in the total volume of waste.
