Insights into Catalent's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Catalent generated a total of 23,017 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 27.56% of Catalent's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 72.44% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Catalent's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Catalent's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Catalent reported a total waste generation of 23,017 metric tonnes, of which 27.56% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Catalent is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Catalent reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Catalent's total waste generation increased by 20.51%, including a 4.62% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Catalent's waste recovery rate declined by 13.88%, yet improved by 2.07% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Catalent’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.

How Catalent reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Catalent's total waste generation increased by 20.51%, including a 4.62% 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 remained relatively flat but increased by 17.71% in 2023, which may indicate a recent uptick in high-risk waste production, potentially linked to material sourcing or product mix.
Overall, Catalent'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.
