How Georg Fischer reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Georg Fischer's total waste generation fell by 8.08%, but rose by 7.06% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Georg Fischer's total output increased by 76.79%, including a further 10.39% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Georg Fischer 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.
How does Georg Fischer treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Georg Fischer reported that 13,000 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 14.29% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 46.15% 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.
