Insights into Eversource Energy's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Eversource Energy generated a total of 132,637 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 58.35% of Eversource Energy's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 41.65% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Eversource Energy's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Eversource Energy's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Eversource Energy reported a total waste generation of 132,637 metric tonnes, of which 58.35% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Eversource Energy is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Eversource Energy reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Eversource Energy's total waste generation increased by 152.96%, including a 214.89% 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.
Over the same period, Eversource Energy's waste recovery rate increased by 48.13%, but declined by 1.47% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Eversource Energy’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How Eversource Energy reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Eversource Energy's total waste generation increased by 152.96%, including a 214.89% 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.
Over the same period, Eversource Energy reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 84.61%, with a further 67.77% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Eversource Energy is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Eversource Energy treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Eversource Energy reported that 1,560 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.18% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.83% 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 Eversource Energy’s current hazardous waste practices.
