Insights into Johnson Matthey's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Johnson Matthey generated a total of 65,225 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 57.66% of Johnson Matthey's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 42.34% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Johnson Matthey's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Johnson Matthey's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Johnson Matthey reported a total waste generation of 65,225 metric tonnes, of which 57.66% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Johnson Matthey is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Johnson Matthey reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Johnson Matthey's total waste generation increased by 2.26%, including a 3.85% 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.
Over the same period, Johnson Matthey's waste recovery rate increased by 82.48%, but declined by 4.42% in 2024, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Johnson Matthey’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

Insights into Johnson Matthey’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, Johnson Matthey generated a total of 65,225 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 64.85% of Johnson Matthey'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. 35.15% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Johnson Matthey reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Johnson Matthey's total waste generation increased by 2.26%, including a 3.85% 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, Johnson Matthey reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 2.63%, with a further 2.68% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Johnson Matthey is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Johnson Matthey treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Johnson Matthey reported that 42,300 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 64.85% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (59.72%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Johnson Matthey has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
