Waste disposal policy112
Separate waste collection (paper, packaging and municipal waste) is ensured in most locations in Slovenia. Waste is collected by approved or registered waste processors or collectors. In terms of the responsibility to the environment and in line with the purchasing policy, our suppliers and service providers are required to deliver proof of proper disposal of waste generated in mutual cooperation.113
When examining and selecting the archives in 2018, Sava Re ensured adequate waste separation and carefully excluded the part to be recycled. All types of waste were transported to registered landfill sites and a sales agreement was made concerning waste paper. Sava Re employed a system of waste separation with an appropriate layout and number of containers for efficient general waste separation, but as we are not the sole owner in the office building, we do not have information on the amount of individual types of waste generated. In 2018, Sava Re decided for the first time to order half of the office paper from recycled materials.
Old electronic devices (computers, batteries, printers, monitors, telephones and similar) are collected by an authorised contractor that ensures e-waste is recycled and non-ferrous scrap metal is properly collected.
In Zavarovalnica Sava, where waste is recorded by type and quantity, the volume of waste has decreased by 3,816 kilograms in 2018 compared to the previous year.
Waste collection in Zavarovalnica Sava by type and volume
Type of waste (in kilograms)
Paper and cardboard packaging
Discarded electrical and electronic equipment containing hazardous components
Discarded electrical and electronic equipment
Sawdust, shavings, cuttings, wood, particle board and veneer
Grease and oil mixture from oil/water separation containing only edible oil and fats
All waste was collected by authorised or registered waste collectors or processors at Zavarovalnica Sava’s locations. Discarded electronic devices are collected by outside repairers who service them, or they are taken over by registered waste collectors or processors at the location of Zavarovalnice Sava. The amount of waste batteries is negligible (this waste is therefore collected for several years before it is handed over to the municipal waste service / waste separation).
Zavarovalnica Sava used remanufactured cartridges for printing and copying in 2018 and did not generate any additional waste.
Sava Pokojninska separates waste according to the instructions of the local utility company (separate collection of paper, bio-waste, plastic, metal, tetrapack). Waste is collected centrally in the business centre, while other types of waste are not generated by Sava Pokojninska. A contractual supplier collects discarded electronic devices and disposes them appropriately.
