In 2024, Falabella reported a total waste generation of 119,362 metric tonnes, of which 36.75% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Falabella is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, Falabella's total waste generation decreased by 6.53%, yet rose by 6.56% in 2024, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.a
Over the same period, Falabella's waste recovery rate increased by 12.46%, including a 11.42% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Falabella 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.
In 2024, Falabella generated a total of 119,362 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 1.32% of Falabella'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.98.68% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Falabella's total waste generation fell by 6.53%, but rose by 6.56% in 2024, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Falabella's total output increased by 6.99%, including a further 18.37% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Falabella had previously reduced its waste generation, but recent increases in both volume and hazardousness suggest potential reversals or emerging operational risks that warrant further investigation.a
In 2024, Falabella reported that 1,578 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.32% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Only 7.16% 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 Falabella’s current hazardous waste practices.a
