In 2025, CAF 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.
| Metric (tonnes) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 39,904.664a | 40,283.21a | 36,465.313a | |
Total Waste Recovered | 38,494.67a | 37,006.239a | 33,755.713a | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 3,939.652a | 3,954.028a | 3,337.195a | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | 258.343a | 1,685.217a | 1,605.668a |

In 2025, CAF generated a total of 39,905metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 96.47% of CAF's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 3.53% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, CAF reported a total waste generation of 39,905 metric tonnes, of which 96.47% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that CAF has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2023, CAF's total waste generation increased by 9.43%, but remained relatively stable in 2025, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.a
Over the same period, CAF's waste recovery rate increased by 4.21%, including a 5.01% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, CAF continues to maintain a high level of waste generation, but steady recovery improvements point to more responsible waste handling and an ongoing investment in circularity.
In 2025, CAF generated a total of 39,905 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 9.87% of CAF'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.90.13% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, CAF's total waste generation rose by 9.43%, yet remained stable in 2025, suggesting recent efforts may have paused further escalation, though historical accumulation remains a concern.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste increased by 7.88%, while holding steady in 2025, pointing to potential stagnation in efforts to reduce harmful waste types after a period of worsening performance.a
Overall, CAF'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, CAF reported that 3,940 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 9.87% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (70.77%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that CAF has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
