Insights into Infineon Technologies's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Infineon Technologies generated a total of 65,217 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 76.13% of Infineon Technologies's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 23.87% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Infineon Technologies's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Infineon Technologies's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Infineon Technologies reported a total waste generation of 65,217 metric tonnes, of which 76.13% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Infineon Technologies has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Infineon Technologies reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Infineon Technologies's total waste generation increased by 58.78%, including a 11.57% increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.

How Infineon Technologies reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Infineon Technologies's total waste generation increased by 58.78%, including a 11.57% rise in 2024, 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 in Infineon Technologies's total output increased by 21.96%, including a further 15.29% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Infineon Technologies has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
How does Infineon Technologies treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Infineon Technologies reported that 40,943 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 62.78% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (77.87%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Infineon Technologies has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
