In 2025, Georg Fischer generated a total of 97,000metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 82.47% of Georg Fischer's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 17.53% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Georg Fischer reported a total waste generation of 97,000 metric tonnes, of which 82.47% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Georg Fischer has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2021, Georg Fischer's total waste generation decreased by 5.83%, yet rose by 1.04% in 2025, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.a
Over the same period, Georg Fischer's waste recovery rate increased by 16.37%, including a 4.18% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Georg Fischer 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 2025, Georg Fischer generated a total of 97,000 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 14.43% of Georg Fischer'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.85.57% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Georg Fischer's total waste generation fell by 5.83%, but rose by 1.04% in 2025, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, Georg Fischer reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 25.67%, with a further 1.03% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Georg Fischer'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.a
In 2025, Georg Fischer reported that 14,000 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 14.43% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (71.43%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Georg Fischer has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
