In 2023, Carrier Global generated a total of 63,072 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 87.14% of Carrier Global's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.86% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Carrier Global reported a total waste generation of 63,072 metric tonnes, of which 87.14% 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.
Since 2021, Carrier Global's total waste generation decreased by 7.31%, including a further 13.08% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Carrier Global's waste recovery rate declined by 1.84%, with a further 1.86% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Carrier Global has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
In 2023, Carrier Global generated a total of 63,072 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 4.38% 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. 95.62% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, Carrier Global's total waste generation decreased by 7.31%, with an additional 13.08% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Carrier Global's total output increased by 31.55%, including a further 35.87% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Carrier Global'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.
In 2023, Carrier Global reported that 2,761 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.38% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (55.07%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Carrier Global has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
