Insights into Berry Global Group's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Berry Global Group generated a total of 110,151 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 64.93% of Berry Global Group's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 35.07% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Berry Global Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Berry Global Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Berry Global Group reported a total waste generation of 110,151 metric tonnes, of which 64.93% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Berry Global Group is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Berry Global Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Berry Global Group's total waste generation increased by 20.23%, but declined by 11.5% 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, Berry Global Group's waste recovery rate declined by 10.33%, with a further 8.96% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Berry Global Group has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.

How Berry Global Group reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Berry Global Group's total waste generation increased by 20.23%, including a 11.5% 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 increased by 4.29%, while holding steady in 2023, pointing to potential stagnation in efforts to reduce harmful waste types after a period of worsening performance.
Overall, Berry Global Group'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 Berry Global Group treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Berry Global Group reported that 7,464 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 6.78% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (57.37%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Berry Global Group has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
