AMETEK's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of AMETEK's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2022, AMETEK reported a total waste generation of 1,489 metric tonnes, of which 12.6% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that AMETEK may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has AMETEK reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, AMETEK's total waste generation increased by 14.98%, including a 13.4% increase in 2022, 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, AMETEK's waste recovery rate increased by 38.46%, including a 72.6% rise in 2022, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, AMETEK has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2022. 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.
