Mastercard's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Mastercard's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Mastercard reported a total waste generation of 1,054 metric tonnes, of which 85.28% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Mastercard has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Mastercard reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Mastercard's total waste generation increased by 41.88%, including a 53.44% 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, Mastercard's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but increased by 20.2% in 2023, hinting at early momentum toward stronger circularity practices or more robust waste treatment reporting.
Overall, Mastercard’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.
