Insights into Amphenol's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Amphenol generated a total of 52,190 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 70.83% of Amphenol's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 29.17% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Amphenol's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Amphenol's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Amphenol reported a total waste generation of 52,190 metric tonnes, of which 70.83% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Amphenol is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Amphenol reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Amphenol's total waste generation increased by 21.28%, including a 2.85% increase in 2023, 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, Amphenol's waste recovery rate increased by 9.9%, including a 11.87% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Amphenol has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. 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.

Insights into Amphenol’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Amphenol generated a total of 52,190 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 13.6% of Amphenol'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. 86.4% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Amphenol reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Amphenol's total waste generation increased by 21.28%, including a 2.85% 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, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 13.09%, yet rose by 3.28% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Amphenol'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 Amphenol treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Amphenol reported that 7,096 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 13.6% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (62.01%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Amphenol has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
