306-5-d For each disposal operation listed in Disclosures 306-5-b and 306-5-c, a breakdown of the total weight in metric tons of hazardous waste and of non-hazardous waste
directed to disposal: i. onsite; ii. offsite.
ESRS E5 E5-5 37c. The amount by weight directed to disposal by waste treatment type and the total amount summing all three types, with a breakdown between hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste. The waste treatment types to be disclosed are: i. incineration (without energy recovery) ; ii. landfill; and iii. other disposal operations;
