In 2023, Avantor reported a total waste generation of 9,232 metric tonnes, of which 48.54% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Avantor is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2020, Avantor's total waste generation decreased by 1.96%, yet rose by 3.28% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Avantor's waste recovery rate declined by 2.35%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, Avantor’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.
