In 2024, Carrier Global generated a total of 82,719metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 88.19% of Carrier Global's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.81% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Carrier Global reported a total waste generation of 82,719 metric tonnes, of which 88.19% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Carrier Global has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2021, Carrier Global's total waste generation increased by 21.57%, including a 31.15%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Carrier Global's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but increased by 1.21% in 2024, hinting at early momentum toward stronger circularity practices or more robust waste treatment reporting.a
Overall, Carrier Global’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.
In 2024, Carrier Global generated a total of 82,719 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 5.45% of Carrier Global'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.94.55% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Carrier Global's total waste generation increased by 21.57%, including a 31.15% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Carrier Global's total output increased by 63.72%, including a further 24.44% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Carrier Global 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.a
In 2024, Carrier Global reported that 4,506 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.45% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 45.74% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
