In 2018, Essity's production waste amounted to 1.65 million tons. During the production process of Essity, waste is generated in the form of ash, sludge, organic waste and/or plastic. Factories are working to reduce waste and find alternative waste solutions. In 2018, a significant portion of waste (1 million tonnes) was recycled as raw material for other industries, such as the construction industry, or used as an energy source. The rest of the waste is sent to landfills.
Waste paper towels are sent to Essity's local factory for new paper products. Pilot projects have been implemented in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden with favorable results.
