Insights into Husqvarna's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Husqvarna generated a total of 30,640 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 78.84% of Husqvarna's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 21.16% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Husqvarna's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Husqvarna's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Husqvarna reported a total waste generation of 30,640 metric tonnes, of which 78.84% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Husqvarna has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Husqvarna reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, Husqvarna's total waste generation decreased by 43.64%, including a further 25.23% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Husqvarna's waste recovery rate declined by 3.4%, with a further 2.32% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Husqvarna 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.

How Husqvarna reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2018, Husqvarna's total waste generation decreased by 43.64%, with an additional 25.23% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, Husqvarna saw a long-term increase of 83.97% in hazardous waste share, but a 9.05% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, while Husqvarna is generating less waste and has made recent gains in reducing hazardousness, the long-term increase in harmful materials still casts doubt on the sustainability of its waste stream.
How does Husqvarna treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Husqvarna reported that 2,759 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 9% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 8.84% 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 Husqvarna’s current hazardous waste practices.
