In 2024, Agilent Technologies generated a total of 11,437metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 39.22% of Agilent Technologies's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 60.78% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Agilent Technologies reported a total waste generation of 11,437 metric tonnes, of which 39.22% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Agilent Technologies is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2022, Agilent Technologies's total waste generation increased by 1.29%, but declined by 9.06% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, Agilent Technologies's waste recovery rate increased by 4.8%, but declined by 1.47% in 2024, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.a
Overall, Agilent Technologies’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
In 2024, Agilent Technologies generated a total of 11,437 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 64.41% of Agilent Technologies's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.35.59% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Agilent Technologies's total waste generation rose by 1.29%, but dropped by 9.06% in 2024, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, Agilent Technologies reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 9.31%, with a further 10.28% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Agilent Technologies has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.a
In 2024, Agilent Technologies reported that 7,367 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 64.41% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 21.39% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
