At the Menge‰ site, the biologically degradable waste generated by the manufacture of fennel and purple cone- flower (Echinacea) juices is directed to a nearby biogas plant. Similarly, we direct the mycelium waste generated at the Lendava site, to a certified contractor biogas plant. Due to redirecting the mycelium waste to a certified contractor biogas plant, the structure of non-hazardous waste changed considerably compared to 2011. Municipal waste accounted for a mere 1%, whereas the share of waste packaging (paper, plastics, wood, metal, glass) amounted to just above 8%. Due to mycelium waste, biodegradable industrial waste accounted for as much as 74% of total waste or 87% of all non-hazardo- us waste across Lek in 2014. Municipal waste is disposed of, while waste packaging is mainly recycled (through the SLOPAK system), and the same applies to construction waste. Biodegradable waste is used for the manufacture of biogas, and other non-hazardous wastes are disposed of by certified companies by means of incineration. 49 GRI Indicator G4-EN23 2010 t 3,316* 1,322 921 324 5,883* 4,618* 2011 t 2,767* 1,388 975 362 5,492* 3,933* 2012 t 13,353* 1,637 793 430 16,213* 14,393* 2013 t 24,476* 1,655 815 483 27,430* 25,493* 2014 t 26,141 1,991 1,010 547 29,689 27,411 Year Unit Lendava Ljubljana Menge‰ Table 13: Non-hazardous waste volumes by site (in tonnes) Prevalje Lek (Total) Lek (non- hazardous waste recyclable pack- aging not included)* * Data differs from that reported in the Sustainability Report 2013, as, on Novartis’ recommendation, sewage sludge from the Lendava Wastewater Treatment Plant is added to other Lendava site waste.
