In 2021, 68.2% of construction waste and 80.8% of operational waste was diverted from retail operations. Our properties team has been recycling eligible roof membrane from reroofing projects since 2007, and in 2021, this amounted to 1,189 tons of material. Responsible disposal of waste Target is piloting an innovation project in four locations that involves placing a camera in compactors and using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to detect recyclable materials. From this data, we can provide store-level reporting to drive process improvements. If this pilot is successful, we plan to roll out the technology enterprise-wide to detect other recyclable materials.
