Insights into Eurofins Scientific's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Eurofins Scientific generated a total of 1,610 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 46.24% of Eurofins Scientific's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 53.76% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Eurofins Scientific's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Eurofins Scientific's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Eurofins Scientific reported a total waste generation of 1,610 metric tonnes, of which 46.24% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Eurofins Scientific is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Eurofins Scientific reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Eurofins Scientific's total waste generation decreased by 19.19%, yet rose by 3.25% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Eurofins Scientific's waste recovery rate increased by 5.54%, including a 4.29% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Eurofins Scientific has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.

How Eurofins Scientific reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Eurofins Scientific's total waste generation fell by 19.19%, but rose by 3.25% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, Eurofins Scientific reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 34.64%, with a further 25.35% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Eurofins Scientific'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.
How does Eurofins Scientific treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Eurofins Scientific reported that 192 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 11.95% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (88.61%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Eurofins Scientific has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
