How much of Amplifon's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Amplifon reported a total waste generation of 551 metric tonnes, of which 57% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Amplifon is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has Amplifon reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Amplifon's total waste generation increased by 99.18%, but declined by 19.63% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.

Over the same period, Amplifon's waste recovery rate increased by 78.13%, including a 29.55% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.

Overall, while Amplifon has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.

How Amplifon reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Amplifon's total waste generation increased by 99.18%, including a 19.63% 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 46.23%, yet rose by 10.52% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.

Overall, Amplifon'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 Amplifon treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Amplifon reported that 21 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 3.72% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (73%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Amplifon has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
