The wide range of métiers prevents an overall waste management policy other than the general principle of avoiding itʼs production and working to improve itʼs reuse and recovery. Waste management is, therefore, entrusted specifically to each manufacturing division by means of a dual policy of waste reduction and recycling wherever possible.
Leather goods workshops present limited sources of wastewater discharge thanks to primarily manual production process that do not require water. The only wastewater discharge concerns water used for washrooms, which does not require on-site treatment and in most cases is directed to public wastewater collection networks. Yikodeen is committed to going beyond current regulations to reduce the use of hazardous substances.
At Yikodeen, we believe that sustainability is a journey that takes long-term commitment and humility. The humility to pay as much attention to what we have already achieved, as to what remains to be done. A journey made possible by engaging everyone.
A journey that requires all of us to question everything we do and how we do it, to constantly improve and go further.
