Insights into Linamar's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Linamar generated a total of 291,500 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 77.64% of Linamar's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 22.36% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Linamar's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Linamar's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Linamar reported a total waste generation of 291,500 metric tonnes, of which 77.64% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Linamar has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Linamar reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Linamar's total waste generation increased by 227.95%, including a 7.89% 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, Linamar's waste recovery rate declined by 20.05%, with a further 5.31% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Linamar is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

Insights into Linamar’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Linamar generated a total of 291,500 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 11.43% of Linamar'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. 10.94% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 77.64% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Linamar reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Linamar's total waste generation increased by 227.95%, including a 7.89% rise in 2023, 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, Linamar reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 88.23%, with a further 7.8% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Linamar 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.
