In <br /> the former, the carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the use of electricity are Pllkington's responsibility, <br /> whereas in the latter, they are the responsibility of the electricity generators. For the sake of completeness, <br /> carbon dioxide release Is reported in both ways. <br /> Overall, carbon dioxide releases have fallen by some three per cent as a result of improved efficiency and better <br /> operational control. Releases from both energy usage and product emissions were 3.7 million tonnes, as shown <br /> in the chart on page 27. Excluding the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the generation of electricity by <br /> power suppliers, this figure reduces to 2.8 million tonnes. <br /> For clarification, waste has been classified as hazardous or nonhazardous. <br /> The latter is significantly greater In quantity but Fluctuates year to year with the furnace repair programme. <br /> Efforts have continued to encourage recycling in preference to the disposal of materials. <br /> The charts below Indicate the trend in the emissions of carbon dioxide and other key emission <br /> products. For presentational reasons the units vary according to emission product. <br /> http://www.pilkington.com/corporate/english/social+responsibility/enviromnentaVdefaultl.htin 11/18/2003 <br />
