In 2023, Logoplaste produced a total of 6 827 tons of operational waste, 98% of which was sent for recycling or reuse.
Hazardous waste represents 4% of our total operational waste. Our main sources of hazardous waste are used oils and lubricants, rags and other absorbents used for spill cleanups.

The importance of an ERA Action Plan
Environmental Risk Assessment is key for continuous improvement
In 2022 Logoplaste’s sites completed their first global Environmental Risk Assessment, aka ERA, with an online survey, with 45 questions. The responses gave a precise vision on what actions plans needed to be implemented.
This assessment identified 235 opportunities for improvement in the following areas:
- Electricity, water and gas meters
- Dealing with local and accidental spillages
- Hazardous, Non-hazardous and electrical waste control
- Site standards
- Environmental awareness training
In the third quarter of 2023 a progress evaluation was conducted. Of the 235 tasks, 114 actions had been accomplished, which represents a completion rate of 49%.
In 2024 we will continue working on the remaining tasks.
The environmental risk assessment is an essential aspect of our operations and helps support the decision-making process.
