Insights into Ambu's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Ambu generated a total of 3,379 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 52.12% of Ambu's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47.88% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ambu's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ambu's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Ambu reported a total waste generation of 3,379 metric tonnes, of which 52.12% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Ambu is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Ambu reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Ambu's total waste generation increased by 48.46%, including a 21.2% increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Ambu's waste recovery rate increased by 26.59%, including a 10.08% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Ambu has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2024. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

How Ambu reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Ambu's total waste generation increased by 48.46%, including a 21.2% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Since 2024, Ambu's hazardous waste generation has increased by 27.27%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, Ambu's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
