Insights into Ford Motor's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Ford Motor generated a total of 1,842,120 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 96.14% of Ford Motor's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 3.86% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ford Motor's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ford Motor's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Ford Motor reported a total waste generation of 1,842,120 metric tonnes, of which 96.14% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Ford Motor has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Ford Motor reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Ford Motor's total waste generation increased by 23.99%, but declined by 11.31% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Ford Motor's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Ford Motor’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 Ford Motor reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Ford Motor's total waste generation increased by 23.99%, including a 11.31% 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, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 17.42%, yet rose by 14.17% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Ford Motor'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 Ford Motor treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Ford Motor reported that 37,680 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 2.05% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 41.89% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
