Insights into Howmet Aerospace's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Howmet Aerospace generated a total of 98 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 38.16% of Howmet Aerospace's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 61.83% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Howmet Aerospace's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Howmet Aerospace's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Howmet Aerospace reported a total waste generation of 98 metric tonnes, of which 38.16% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Howmet Aerospace is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Howmet Aerospace reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Howmet Aerospace's total waste generation increased by 325.74%, including a 3.38% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Howmet Aerospace's waste recovery rate increased by 12.53%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, Howmet Aerospaceās 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 Howmet Aerospace reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Howmet Aerospace's total waste generation increased by 325.74%, including a 3.38% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Howmet Aerospace reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 73.3%, with a further 6.49% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Howmet Aerospace is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Howmet Aerospace treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Howmet Aerospace reported that 26 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 26.7% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 33.97% 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.
