Lockheed Martin Waste Data Preview
In 2023, Lockheed Martin conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into Lockheed Martin's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Lockheed Martin generated a total of 26,750 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 53.54% of Lockheed Martin's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47.82% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Lockheed Martin's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Lockheed Martin's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Lockheed Martin reported a total waste generation of 26,750 metric tonnes, of which 53.54% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Lockheed Martin is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Lockheed Martin reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Lockheed Martin's total waste generation decreased by 4.21%, yet rose by 1.23% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Lockheed Martin's waste recovery rate increased by 4.42%, including a 3.65% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Lockheed Martin has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.

Insights into Lockheed Martin’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Lockheed Martin generated a total of 26,750 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 8.74% of Lockheed Martin'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. 91.26% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Lockheed Martin reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Lockheed Martin's total waste generation fell by 4.21%, but rose by 1.23% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, Lockheed Martin saw a long-term increase of 1.14% in hazardous waste share, but a 2.45% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, Lockheed Martin'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.
How does Lockheed Martin treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Lockheed Martin reported that 2,339 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 8.74% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 12.24% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
