Insights into Harley-Davidson's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Harley-Davidson generated a total of 4,890metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 73.94% of Harley-Davidson's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 26.06% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
Harley-Davidson's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Harley-Davidson's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Harley-Davidson reported a total waste generation of 4,890 metric tonnes, of which 73.94% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Harley-Davidson is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Has Harley-Davidson reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Harley-Davidson's total waste generation decreased by 65.67%, including a further 57.11% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Harley-Davidson's waste recovery rate declined by 11.61%, with a further 14.3% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, while Harley-Davidson has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
