Insights into Hubbell's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hubbell generated a total of 369,463 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 92.97% of Hubbell's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 7.03% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Hubbell's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hubbell's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hubbell reported a total waste generation of 369,463 metric tonnes, of which 92.97% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Hubbell has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Hubbell reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Hubbell's total waste generation increased by 85.26%, including a 16.53% 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, Hubbell's waste recovery rate increased by 5.68%, including a 1.09% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Hubbell has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

Insights into Hubbell’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Hubbell generated a total of 369,463 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 1.15% of Hubbell's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 98.85% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Hubbell reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Hubbell's total waste generation increased by 85.26%, including a 16.53% 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, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 35.37%, yet rose by 2.75% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Hubbell'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 Hubbell treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Hubbell reported that 4,244 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.15% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 5.51% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Hubbell’s current hazardous waste practices.
