Waste and Pollution Management

Eliminating Food Loss and Waste in Landfills

i-Tail is committed to reducing its environmental footprint through a comprehensive waste management approach aligned with the internationally recognized waste hierarchy. The Company prioritizes waste prevention at source, supported by regular waste audits to identify key waste streams and root causes. Insights from these assessments are integrated into operational planning and performance management processes.Where waste cannot be fully avoided, the Company emphasizes reuse, recycling, and circular solutions in collaboration with external partners. Key initiatives include diverting wastewater sludge from landfill for use as soil conditioners and fertilizers, reusing boiler ash in the production of concrete and bricks, and directing non-recyclable waste to energy recovery prior to final disposal.

In 2025, waste-to-landfill intensity increased to 17.8, compared to 15.8 in 2024. Despite this increase, one of the Company’s two manufacturing facilities achieved zero waste to landfill during the reporting period. The Company continues to strengthen waste reduction and diversion initiatives and remains committed to achieving zero waste to landfill, in line with Group’s sustainability commitments.
