Bechtle AG
Bechtle Waste Data Preview
In 2022, Bechtle conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into Bechtle’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2022, Bechtle generated a total of 2,864 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 1.75% of Bechtle'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. 23.01% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 75.24% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Bechtle reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Bechtle's total waste generation increased by 9.9%, including a 15.25% rise in 2022, 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 in Bechtle's total output increased by 658.26%, including a further 519.76% rise in 2022, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Bechtle has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
How does Bechtle treat its hazardous waste?
In 2022, Bechtle reported that 50 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.75% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Bechtle has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
