In 2024, Alliant Energy generated a total of 268,748metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 67.34% of Alliant Energy's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 32.66% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Alliant Energy reported a total waste generation of 268,748 metric tonnes, of which 67.34% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Alliant Energy is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2022, Alliant Energy's total waste generation decreased by 19.4%, including a further 14.58% drop in 2024, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Alliant Energy's waste recovery rate increased by 9.46%, while holding steady in 2024, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.a
Overall, Alliant Energy’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, Alliant Energy generated a total of 268,748 metric tonnes of waste.a
