Due to rounding of the decimal places of the tonnes to whole numbers, there are small deviations. 2) Due to significant fluctuations in operations, plant maintenance and project developments in construction activities, there may also be corresponding changes in the waste data, particularly as a result of tunnel construction projects. 3) Lines containing “n/a” did not occur in the reporting years shown and are therefore indicated as not applicable. 4) Certain waste streams are subjected to mechanical, biological and chemical-physical processes prior to recycling. 5) The “Total non-recycled waste” refers exclusively to the quantities (t) that were not handed over to the recycler. Therefore, this total also includes recovery paths such as ‘reuse’ or other recovery paths. 6) The figures for the previous year have been adjusted following the correction of erroneous data identified through enhanced plausibility checks. Waste composition of the ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group *) Chemical conversion and synthesis products Metals Plastics and rubber Oxides, hydroxides, salt waste Plastics and metals Acids, alkalis, concentrates Solvents, paints, varnishes, adhesives, putties and resins Textiles Material mainly of biogenic origin Water and marine resources Material mainly of fossil origin (mineral oil and coal) Plant treatment and pest control products, pharmaceutical products and disinfectants Material of mineral origin (excluding metals) *) The composition of the waste is determined on the basis of the waste code numbers in accordance with the Austrian Waste Catalogue Regulation (AVVO) 46 . Each waste code number is assigned to a material category based on the waste groups in the Waste Catalogue Ordinance (AVVO). As a result of the business model of the ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group, the waste data differs significantly from that of the manufacturing industry, for example. On the one hand, project activity causes fluctuations in the annual waste data in the waste streams associated with construction activities. This is because, although maintenance work is performed continually, large-scale projects such as the Koralm Tunnel and the Semmering Base Tunnel are also being implemented. These projects involve the movement of large quantities of material, with further use and recycling options depending heavily on the material available and its qualitative (geogenic or anthropogenic) and structural properties. As previously stated in the introductory text of s ub-section E5-5 Resource outflows, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG endeavours at all times to enable reuse and recycling within the feasible framework. 4 6 https://www.bmk.gv.at/themen/klima_umwelt/abfall/recht/vo/abfallverzeichnis.html.
