Insights into Getinge's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Getinge generated a total of 2,739 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 44.91% of Getinge's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 55.09% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Getinge's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Getinge's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Getinge reported a total waste generation of 2,739 metric tonnes, of which 44.91% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Getinge is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Getinge reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Getinge's total waste generation decreased by 1.08%, and remained stable in 2023, which may indicate a new baseline following earlier reductions in waste output.
Over the same period, Getinge's waste recovery rate declined by 13.47%, with a further 5.58% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Getingeās 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 does Getinge treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Getinge reported that 214 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 7.81% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 25.23% 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.
