In 2024, Discovery generated a total of 474 metric tonnes of waste.

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.
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.
Over the same period, Discovery's waste recovery rate increased by 26.03%, while holding steady in 2024, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, Discovery’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.
