Ipsen's Waste Recovery Rate

76%

How much of Ipsen's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Ipsen reported a total waste generation of 4,038 metric tonnes, of which 75.95% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Ipsen has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Ipsen reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2019, Ipsen's total waste generation increased by 6.12%, including a 21.66% 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, Ipsen's waste recovery rate increased by 84.55%, including a 40.44% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.

Overall, Ipsen 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.
