In 2023, Air Liquide reported a total waste generation of 33,157 metric tonnes, of which 89.3% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Air Liquide has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Air Liquide reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2019, Air Liquide's total waste generation decreased by 36.09%, yet rose by 4.44% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.

Over the same period, Air Liquide's waste recovery rate declined by 4.57%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.

Overall, Air Liquide’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.
