Porcelain and Enamel
This division is studying every opportunity for waste reduction. In 2016, the main active issues related to the manufacture of porcelain or enamel
chromos, where the paper is always reused as an interleaf during printing, and the rest is cut up to be used in the Research and Development lab.
Most screens are reused in production. Porcelain supports used during the firing tests for decorations are cut up for the best use of them.

HIW: Hazardous Industrial Waste
Waste is monitored and employees are sent updates on waste produc-
tion every month. The sorting of packaging waste that began in 2015 in
the dining hall was extended to all divisions in order to involve employees
in this process.
The volume of OIW generated has increased slightly compared to 2015,
with manufacturing having carried out a number of operations to dis-
mantle obsolete processing facilities, replacing the old workstations,
which were recycled.
The portion of hazardous waste has increased by 25%, with much of this
coming from the sludge from the water treatment centre that handles
the enamel waste. The reason for this is strong growth in the enamel
business in 2016.
The most significant measures undertaken in 2016 were the following;
s
s
running the water “pre-treatment” station regularly and cleaning it in
order to reduce sedimentation from the enamel, reducing the need
for cleaning the station;
s
s
recovering and gathering up the non-pulverised enamel paste from
inside the workshop before it gets washed into the water stream, to
avoidunnecessarypollutionofthewater(andsubsequenttreatment);
s
s
placing recycling containers around for smaller packaging items.

Better management of raw materials has enabled the site to decrease the waste produced by 10 tonnes. The site has recycling bins for the different
waste streams: paste products, used solvents, soiled packaging, paper, porcelain, wood, etc. All ink cartridges are also recovered and reused. Colour
pots and screens are reused insofar as possible before being destroyed. Regular reminders of these rules are provided during workshops. Various
awareness campaigns are also carried out during the year when storage/sorting is happening.
