How much of Discovery's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2024, Discovery reported a total waste generation of 474 metric tonnes, of which 92% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Discovery has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Discovery reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2020, Discovery's total waste generation increased by 18.2%, including a 6.04% 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.
