In 2023, Autoliv generated a total of 113,000metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 91% of Autoliv's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 9% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2023, Autoliv reported a total waste generation of 113,000 metric tonnes, of which 91% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Autoliv has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2021, Autoliv's total waste generation increased by 21.51%, including a 11.88%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.a
Over the same period, Autoliv's waste recovery rate increased by 2.25%, including a 1.11% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Autoliv 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.
In 2023, Autoliv generated a total of 113,000 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 11% of Autoliv'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.89% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Autoliv's total waste generation increased by 21.51%, including a 11.88% 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.a
Over the same period, Autoliv's hazardous waste share remained stable both over the long term and in 2023, reflecting consistent but static performance in managing hazardous materials.a
Overall, Autoliv is producing more waste without a change in hazardousness, implying that operational growth is not being accompanied by stronger safeguards against environmental and human health risks.a
