Insights into DSV's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, DSV generated a total of 70,349 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 49.9% of DSV's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 50.1% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
DSV's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of DSV's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, DSV reported a total waste generation of 70,349 metric tonnes, of which 49.9% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that DSV is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has DSV reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2023, DSV's total waste generation has increased by 22.69%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Over the same period, DSV's waste recovery rate remained relatively stable.

Insights into DSV’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, DSV generated a total of 70,349 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 6.71% of DSV's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 93.29% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How DSV reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2023, DSV's total waste generation has increased by 22.69%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Since 2023, DSV's hazardous waste generation has increased by 132.92%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, DSV has seen a recent increase in both total waste and hazardous waste, which may indicate growing operational pressures or insufficient controls on harmful materials.
How does DSV treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, DSV reported that 4,718 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 6.71% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 6.72% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with DSV’s current hazardous waste practices.
