Insights into Galp Energia's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Galp Energia generated a total of 29,240 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 53% of Galp Energia's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Galp Energia's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Galp Energia's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Galp Energia reported a total waste generation of 29,240 metric tonnes, of which 53% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Galp Energia is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Galp Energia reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Galp Energia's total waste generation increased by 4.83%, including a 31.91% 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, Galp Energia's waste recovery rate declined by 5.36%, with a further 14.52% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Galp Energia is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

How Galp Energia reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Galp Energia's total waste generation increased by 4.83%, including a 31.91% 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 in Galp Energia's total output increased by 8.91%, including a further 6.29% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Galp Energia has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
