The policy emphasizes three separate areas: Reduction of packaging weight Recyclability Elimination of substances presenting a potential environmental risk Carrefour been operating a waste management and water and energy consumption reduction policy since 1994. As an example, Carrefour superstores in France increased the amount of cardboard recycled by 40% in real terms between 1998 and 2000. This effort is ongoing; 86,000 tonnes of cardboard were recycled in 2003. Carrefour tries to buy locally in every country where we operate.
