Made by Benchmark Company exclusively for CL Cup Moscow’12 >>
24 November 2012
2. Zeroing all
waste sent to
landfills
Strategy steps Description and key initiatives
Cutting costs
and reducing
environmen-
tal impact
-$6.8M costs in 2013-2015
+$84M in cost savings 2016-2020
Quick switch from landfills usage to greener
options without significant cost increase
Incinerate floating foam, recycle remainder
Invest in waste sorting, employee motivation
Transition to more cost-efficient ways that
allow to reduce environmental impact
Build a small facility for paper and
cardboard recycling
Imply initiatives that expand reuse
options and lower packaging amount
To achieve sustainable goals Tula factory should firstly switch from
landfills usage to greener options and then concentrate on cost reduction

4. 4
The best possible way to get rid of landfills is to use both incineration and
recycling facilities in Moscow district for different types of waste

impact**
* Based on our market analysis there is no facilities that currently recycle flotation foam in Russia, but all other types of waste that
are currently sent to landfills can be recycled (garbage, ice-cream waste, some metal)
** In this case the environment effect for each option is compared to other options since we can’t adequately evaluate that impact
*** Investment costs = Containers costs + Employee Motivation Program costs (see more detailed analysis in excel file)

5. 5
The factory will benefit from building its own small facility since it
provides the best operation cost savings and low investment costs

* Since the highest transportation cost are caused by paper and cardboard wastes, it is more efficient to capture these types of
wastes by our own recycling
** The capacities allow a few companies to recycle their waste on this factory, so the investment costs will be divided between them
*** All investment costs will be carried by the government due to the significant initial investments required to build such capacities

6. * In mln of rub, compound effect for 2013-2015
** 10% of polyethylene waste, cardboard and stained wrapping are supposed to be reduced
*** By using less packaging materials costs for recycled plastic and paper decreases by 10%
**** Price for sorted black metal increases by 20%, for aluminum scrap – by 25% due to pre-recycling sorting process

Finding ways to reuse waste to maximum extent, metal sorting and
packaging reduction will allow to save up to 43M in costs
