Insights into Amgen's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Amgen generated a total of 10,020 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 52.87% of Amgen's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47.14% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Amgen's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Amgen's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Amgen reported a total waste generation of 10,020 metric tonnes, of which 52.87% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Amgen is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Amgen reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Amgen's total waste generation increased by 2.05%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, Amgen's waste recovery rate increased by 9.39%, but declined by 1.57% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Amgen’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.

Insights into Amgen’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Amgen generated a total of 10,020 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 17.13% of Amgen'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. 82.87% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Amgen reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Amgen's total waste generation increased by 2.05%, including a 0.46% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Amgen reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 22.83%, with a further 14.23% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Amgen'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.
How does Amgen treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Amgen reported that 1,716 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 17.13% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 10.08% 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.
