The circular economy plays an important role in the development of more sustainable communities. Transdev takes this issue into consideration at each stage of its supply chain. Sorting of waste, whether hazardous or non-hazardous, is a requirement in our networks. To meet this obligation, different bins are available. In order to track the waste until the end of its life, we also monitor the treatment of our waste using tracking slips for hazardous and non-hazardous waste, in accordance with regulations. We have developed framework contracts that enable our entities to take advantage of our national networks of suppliers, thereby ensuring a standardized level of waste treatment, for example for the treatment of our waste oils, aerosols, soiled wipes, etc.
Our analyses confirm the importance local governments ascribe to the circular economy and its ability to build richer, more resilient communities, and local mobility services are not an exception to this rule. In Brisbane, we have set up a photovoltaic energy production centre that enables solar-powered vehicles to maximize their range. As a result, our energy is produced locally and consumed locally, for 100% zero emission travel within the city. This expertise, derived from our Smart Grid management experience, contributes significantly to achieving the holistic objectives set by public transit authorities.
