Key to Freeport-McMoRan’s materials stewardship programs is responsible waste and recyclable material management. The company has implemented procedures to evaluate off-site disposal and recycling facilities to ensure they meet high standards of regulatory compliance, financial strength and environmental management practices.
Most recently, the company generated approximately 176 thousand metric tons of non-mineral waste and recyclable material. In addition, we generated approximately 10 thousand cubic meters of used oil due to maintenance activities, all of which was recycled.
