Notes:
1 Total waste produced is calculated by adding total chemical waste and total solid waste tonnage. Solid waste quantities have increased significantly in 2010, accounted by the large scale construction project at the Santa Clara, California site.
2 Chemical waste refers to chemical materials designated for final disposition that exhibit characteristic that is hazardous or dangerous per local regulatory requirements. This refers to materials that are shipped offsite for treatment, recycling, incineration, and landfill; and excludes electronic waste.
3 Solid waste refers to waste that is not included in chemical waste or excess electronic equipment (e.g. garbage/trash, paper, cardboard, glass, and furniture and construction debris. Solid waste data for FY10 excludes 6,350 metric tonnes of construction waste from an asphalt repair project at our Santa Clara site which has been recycled. If included, solid waste generated and quantity recycled would have substantially increased. Excluding the one-time project waste removes a large peak of recycled material for a one time project.

HOPE Services and Agilent Technologies partner to help increase the Solid Waste Diversion Rate for Santa Clara site.
In 2009, the Agilent Technologies Santa Clara headquarters site started its partnership with HOPE Services. HOPE Services is an organization whose mission is to help all people with developmental disabilities and be able to let them live and participate in their communities. The organization currently sends four groups a week to the Santa Clara site to help with the sorting of recyclable materials. Last year, the site completed a new 6,000-square-foot recycle yard in hopes of increasing our partnership with HOPE Services. The joint effort was a success. Working with Agilent, HOPE Services has helped the company achieve a solid waste diversion rate of 94 percent for 2010 which includes the construction waste at the site.
