Waste Management
Genetec’s manufacturing operations generate two types of waste: hazardous (scheduled) and non-hazardous (non-scheduled or general). Hazardous waste, such as soiled rags and gloves, spent hydraulic and mineral oils from heavy machinery operations, is safely disposed of by a licensed service provider. Non-hazardous waste includes scraps and off-cuts of virgin metals and plastics which are 100% recycled. The remaining non-hazardous waste is domestic waste which is non-recyclable and handled by a licensed waste collector.
In FY2025, we generated a total of 56,348 kilograms (kg) of non-hazardous and hazardous waste:
