These efforts are made to protect the environment and prevent pollution that can have a significant impact on health. The types of waste generated by the Company include domestic waste, rainwater runoff that passes through the oil cather  located at the filling station bund wall and workshops, and B3 and Non-B3 waste from operational activities.
