Insights into CPFL Energia's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, CPFL Energia generated a total of 16,263 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 84.82% of CPFL Energia's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.61% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 3.57% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
CPFL Energia's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of CPFL Energia's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, CPFL Energia reported a total waste generation of 16,263 metric tonnes, of which 84.82% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that CPFL Energia has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has CPFL Energia reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, CPFL Energia's total waste generation increased by 448.51%, but declined by 52.39% 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, CPFL Energia's waste recovery rate increased by 129.18%, including a 132.25% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while CPFL Energia has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.

How CPFL Energia reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, CPFL Energia's total waste generation increased by 448.51%, including a 52.39% 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 decreased by 60.35%, yet rose by 67.81% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, CPFL Energia'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 CPFL Energia treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, CPFL Energia reported that 2,542 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 15.63% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (77.07%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that CPFL Energia has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
