Insights into Hess's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hess generated a total of 61,523 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 4.09% of Hess's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 50.81% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 45.1% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Hess's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hess's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hess reported a total waste generation of 61,523 metric tonnes, of which 4.09% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Hess may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Hess reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Hess's total waste generation decreased by 42.73%, yet rose by 4.24% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Hess's waste recovery rate increased by 84.25%, but declined by 6.93% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Hess’s 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 Hess reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Hess's total waste generation fell by 42.73%, but rose by 4.24% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, Hess reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 36.8%, with a further 51.86% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Hess'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.
How does Hess treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Hess reported that 283 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.46% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 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.
