Insights into Elisa's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Elisa generated a total of 934 metric tonnes of waste. a
Of this amount, 93.36% of Elisa's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 6.53% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. a
Elisa's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Elisa's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Elisa reported a total waste generation of 934 metric tonnes, of which 93.36% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Elisa has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management. a
Has Elisa reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Elisa's total waste generation increased by 44.81%, including a 12.12% increase in 2023, 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, Elisa's waste recovery rate declined by 1.76%, with a further 1.68% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies. a
Overall, Elisa is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

How Elisa reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Elisa's total waste generation increased by 44.81%, including a 12.12% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems. a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste increased by 10.07%, while holding steady in 2023, pointing to potential stagnation in efforts to reduce harmful waste types after a period of worsening performance. a
Overall, Elisa'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
How does Elisa treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Elisa reported that 467 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 50% of its overall waste generation. a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority ( 97%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Elisa has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams. a
