Insights into Lear's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Lear generated a total of 184,935 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 70.43% of Lear's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 29.57% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Lear's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Lear's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Lear reported a total waste generation of 184,935 metric tonnes, of which 70.43% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Lear is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Lear reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Lear's total waste generation decreased by 2.8%, and remained stable in 2023, which may indicate a new baseline following earlier reductions in waste output.
Over the same period, Lear's waste recovery rate declined by 7.99%, with a further 6.5% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Lear’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.

How Lear reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Lear's total waste generation decreased by 2.8%, and remained stable in 2023, signaling a plateau following previous reductions that may mark a new waste baseline.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Lear's total output increased by 254.05%, including a further 33.61% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Lear's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
