In 2025, Baker Hughes generated a total of 159,110metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 38.51% of Baker Hughes's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 61.49% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Baker Hughes reported a total waste generation of 159,110 metric tonnes, of which 38.51% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Baker Hughes is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2022, Baker Hughes's total waste generation decreased by 29%, including a further 17.63% drop in 2025, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Baker Hughes's waste recovery rate increased by 51.16%, including a 18.01% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Baker Hughes has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.
In 2025, Baker Hughes generated a total of 159,110 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 32.22% of Baker Hughes'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.67.78% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Baker Hughes's total waste generation decreased by 29%, with an additional 17.63% decline in 2025, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 40.69%, yet rose by 5.45% in 2025, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, Baker Hughes'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.a
In 2025, Baker Hughes reported that 51,272 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 32.22% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Only 7.01% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Baker Hughes’s current hazardous waste practices.a
