In 2023, Adobe generated a total of 1,607 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 81.89% of Adobe's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 18.11% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Adobe reported a total waste generation of 1,607 metric tonnes, of which 81.89% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Adobe has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2021, Adobe's total waste generation increased by 35.16%, but declined by 19.33% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Adobe's waste recovery rate declined by 10.01%, with a further 7.37% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Adobe has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.
