WASTE
In the normal course of business, Mediaset España
generates a certain volume of waste. In compliance with
regulations governing hazardous and non-hazardous
waste, the Company delivers waste to an authorised
waste management company in suitable condition.
In this respect, electrical and electronic equipment are
managed by Recyberica; waste from used fluorescent
lamps and are managed through the AMBILAMP and
Recyberica Associations, and paper, batteries and digital
media are recycled through Reisswolf.
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment is
managed through the technical warehouse. All current
technical equipment is acquired subject to the“Restriction
of Hazardous Substances Directive” (Directive 2002/95/
EC, implemented in Spanish law by way of Royal Decree
208/2005), the cost of withdrawal at the end of its useful
life and re-cycling respecting the environment being
paid at the time of purchase, ensuring the adequate
management of the waste generated by the process of
renewal as a consequence of foreseen or unforeseen
technical obsolescence.
Organic waste is only generated in the cafeteria/canteen
area where it is separated by cafeteria personnel (organic,
plastic containers, glass), this being the only common area
where food may be consumed.
Employees separate paper, batteries, tapes etc. by
depositing them in specific containers around in the
Company’s facilities.
