Caring for the Planet Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 156 Implementing the 4R Approach Press Metal adopts the 4R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover) approach in managing waste effectively. This approach emphasises reducing waste generation at the source, re-using materials, recycling valuable resources, recovering valuable by-products and processing our operational waste in a responsible manner from cradle-to-gate. • Repurposing industrial by-products back into our manufacturing processes • Promoting and educating employees through the Go Green initiative to encourage waste repurposing • Collaborating with external parties to reuse carbon butts, either as fuel in the production process or for producing new anodes • Segregating electrolyte from carbon dross in our internal carbon dross recovery process to be reused as bath material • Repurposing industrial waste products (e.g., carbon powder) into our civil engineering works • Preventing or minimising waste volume and toxicity at the source through improvements in our manufacturing processes • Enhancing operational efficiency to minimise material wastage during our production process • Eliminating plastic packaging in canteens • Implementing digital transformation to minimise paper usage • Raising awareness through various initiatives such as posters, videos, talks, and 6S Lean Manufacturing Principles Reuse Reduce • Utilising production by-products as material inputs • Collaborating with external stakeholders to optimise recovery efforts on aluminium by-products • Repurposed SPL as an alternative raw material in cement production • Developed an internal recovery system for aluminium dross and carbon dross to recover material value • Enhancing internal recovery systems to increase our internal recovery capacity • Implementing caustic soda recovery system to reclaim and reuse caustic soda • Recouping material value through recycling efforts • Remelting aluminium scraps to produce aluminium products • Establishing an aluminium scrap recycling programme to promote a circular economy • Recycling non-hazardous waste such as carton boxes and containers • Collaborated with E-Waste Recycling Through Heroes (“ERTH”) to establish an e-waste recycling campaign • Recycling of aluminium hydroxide to produce aluminium sulphate for water purification processes Recover Recycle
