The significant increase in the volume of OIW

corresponds to the pac-
kaging and pallets disposed of while the tank furnace was being built.
Measures to manage OIW

implemented in 2015 enabled a significant
portion of this waste to be recycled.
The volume of HIW

waste is stable compared to 2015, but
remains high. In 2015, this waste was from the dismantling of the pot
furnace, whereas in 2016 it comesmostly from the unsuitable cullet that
was not recycled during the last months of the life of the tank furnace.
However, the annual average amount of recycled cullet remains constant
compared with the previous year, or even a little higher, especially after
the initiative to optimise the operation of the melting tools.
Leather Goods
All leather offcuts from manufacturing facilities are resold to special processors and recycled, to then become new raw material for other types of
products. In 2016, the Group improved the way its divisions are organised.

Theentire craftsmanshipdivisionproduceda total of 588 t of OIW
1
waste
in 2016. This is an increase of 36% compared with 2015.
There are several reasons for this significant increase:
s
s
the start of manufacturing at Héricourt with a canteen;
s
s
the start of Saint-Junien’s short-term workshop;
s
s
recycling of soiled solid waste into OIW at Manufacture de Haute
Maroquinerie;
s
s
a one-off waste sorting drive at Pierre-Bénite;
s
s
specific items removed at the facilities in Pantin.
HIW

waste produced in 2016 amounted to 65 t. This is a decrease of
18%, mainly attributable to some soiled waste that was transformed into
OIW
1
and to the removal of degreasing fountains.
Each type of waste is directed to a specially devised treatment or sorting
chain.
Textiles
The division is working with a number of different service providers to recycle a portion of the textile waste and offcuts from production.

Since 2015, the division has been using just one provider for waste management for all of the sites, who focuses on sorting and recycling.
Perfumes
Processed alcohol products, cosmetic products, PLV (Publicité
Sur Lieu de Vente
, on-site advertising) and articles used in processing that end up
being discarded are recycled through a specialised partner. On average, after preparation and sorting, 63% of these materials are recycled and 37%
are used in energy recovery.

The volume of waste has increased by about 6% compared to 2015, which is partly explained by higher volumes of perfumes that were manufactured
and packaged.
In 2016, 60% of waste (OIW and HIW) was recycled and 33% was used in energy recovery. The recycling/re-use ratio therefore remains stable.
