How Magna International reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Magna International's total waste generation increased by 15.87%, including a 7.49% 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, Magna International reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 44.29%, with a further 9.3% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Magna International has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.
How does Magna International treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Magna International reported that 53,263 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 3.9% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (92%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Magna International has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
