BD acknowledges the importance of responsible end-disposal management for the various types of waste generated from our operations. Recognizing the current and future potential consequences associated with waste disposal is necessary to safeguard our company, communities and planet. We are committed to reducing nonhazardous and hazardous waste generation. We are examining ways to move beyond the traditional hierarchy of waste management by focusing on opportunities to prevent waste from occurring and proactively planning how to extend the life of materials that would otherwise become waste. Through management of change processes, our manufacturing locations are required to review and assess what waste would be generated by process changes and design transfers. Cross-functional teams will also evaluate source reduction and waste minimization opportunities and will partner with our waste disposal vendors to evaluate areas for waste reduction, reuse, redesign and recycling. Data associated with the generation of waste is reported by each of our locations via an online system, and this data is reviewed and monitored on an ongoing basis. This enables us to assess the type and amount of material that is being generated and to identify opportunities for improvement that can occur at a local or regional level. Risks associated with the transportation, storage and disposal of waste are identified, managed and mitigated through a series of mechanisms, such as internal governance protocols, end-disposal selection approval processes, vendor management and end-disposal site audits. Waste performance As we continue to assess and implement waste reduction projects, our efforts have resulted in a decrease in total nonhazardous waste generated in FY 2021. Facility projects implemented have included reviewing the alternatives to single- use products such as lab coats, installing upgraded technology such as combined hand-washers and -dryers to reduce paper disposal and the reuse of material- handling trays. As our practices have become more efficient, less waste requires disposal via incineration and landfilling. The volume of hazardous waste generated decreased in FY 2021 due to a reduction in the number of “clean out” events (for example, lean manufacturing and kaizen events where unnecessary material is removed from our facilities). Regulated waste generation also decreased as a result of greater understanding of the precautions that were required to protect our associates from COVID-19. Waste data and information on how we define categories of waste can be found within the appendices .
