To track the evolution of waste quantities in a way that allows us to evaluate performance according to operational developments, we monitor specific waste quantities. Thus, we recorded an increase of approximately 5.42% in the quantities of non-hazardous waste **** generated per sales area.

Depending on the county in which the activity is carried out, different municipal waste treatment techniques are used locally. We do not have data on exactly how municipal waste is treated and we cannot reveal how much of this waste stream was diverted from the landfill. ** Hazardous waste includes lead battery waste, electrical and electronic equipment, sludge from oil/ water separators, contaminated packaging, etc. *** 'Other waste' includes types of waste generated on sites but not found in the entire PENNY network, such as: waste including materials not suitable for consumption or processing, waste from the construction of new stores, waste from sand traps and other mixed packaging. **** In calculating the specific indicator for waste generation, the total amount of non-hazardous waste generated on PENNY sites was considered, compared to the average total sales area for 2023.
