Insights into Itron's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Itron generated a total of 2,376 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 75.87% of Itron's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 24.13% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Itron's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Itron's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Itron reported a total waste generation of 2,376 metric tonnes, of which 75.87% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Itron has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Itron reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Itron's total waste generation decreased by 14.38%, yet rose by 2.62% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Itron's waste recovery rate declined by 6.33%, with a further 5.97% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Itron had been making progress in reducing waste, but recent increases in waste and simultaneous drops in recovery point to emerging risks or disruptions in waste management strategy.

Insights into Itron’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Itron generated a total of 2,376 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 3.59% of Itron'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. 96.41% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Itron reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Itron's total waste generation fell by 14.38%, but rose by 2.62% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 17.55%, yet rose by 39.87% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Itron had improved its waste performance over time, but a recent rise in both waste output and hazardousness may reflect operational volatility or a drift from previously effective strategies.
How does Itron treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Itron reported that 85 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 3.59% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (96.43%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Itron has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
