In 2025, FMC generated a total of 59,066metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 52.19% of FMC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47.81% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, FMC reported a total waste generation of 59,066 metric tonnes, of which 52.19% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that FMC is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, FMC's total waste generation decreased by 23.16%, yet rose by 5.68% in 2025, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.a
Over the same period, FMC's waste recovery rate increased by 48.85%, but declined by 26.35% in 2025, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.a
Overall, FMC’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.
In 2025, FMC generated a total of 59,066 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 61.1% of FMC'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.38.9% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, FMC's total waste generation fell by 23.16%, but rose by 5.68% in 2025, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 11.11%, yet rose by 9.8% in 2025, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, FMC had improved its waste performance over time, but a recent rise in both waste output and hazardousness may reflect operational volatility or a drift from previously effective strategies.a
In 2025, FMC reported that 36,091 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 61.1% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (71.62%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that FMC has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
