Insights into Dr Reddy's Laboratories's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Dr Reddy's Laboratories generated a total of 78,535 metric tonnes of waste. a
Of this amount, 98.96% of Dr Reddy's Laboratories's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 1.04% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. a
Dr Reddy's Laboratories's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Dr Reddy's Laboratories's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Dr Reddy's Laboratories reported a total waste generation of 78,535 metric tonnes, of which 98.96% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Dr Reddy's Laboratories has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management. a
Has Dr Reddy's Laboratories reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Dr Reddy's Laboratories's total waste generation increased by 79.24%, including a 50.02% 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. a
Over the same period, Dr Reddy's Laboratories's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2024, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy. a
Overall, Dr Reddy's Laboratories's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.
