In 2023, George Weston reported a total waste generation of 6,133 metric tonnes, of which 55.42% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.

Has George Weston reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, George Weston's total waste generation increased by 55.98%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, George Weston's waste recovery rate declined by 9.43%, with a further 5.16% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, George Weston continues to produce more waste than in earlier years, while falling short on recovery. Recent stagnation in waste output offers little relief if recovery performance continues to weaken.
