In 2023, Dupont De Nemours generated a total of 307,600metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 18.21% of Dupont De Nemours's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 81.79% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2023, Dupont De Nemours reported a total waste generation of 307,600 metric tonnes, of which 18.21% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Dupont De Nemours may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Since 2021, Dupont De Nemours's total waste generation decreased by 3.18%, including a further 4.74% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Dupont De Nemours's waste recovery rate declined by 10.19%, with a further 2.19% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, while Dupont De Nemours has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
In 2023, Dupont De Nemours generated a total of 307,600 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 19.96% of Dupont De Nemours'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.80.04% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Dupont De Nemours's total waste generation decreased by 3.18%, with an additional 4.74% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Dupont De Nemours's total output increased by 10.1%, including a further 3.62% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Dupont De Nemours'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.a
In 2023, Dupont De Nemours reported that 61,400 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 19.96% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 25.88% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
