In 2024, Medibank generated a total of 185 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 31.62% of Medibank's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 68.38% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2024, Medibank reported a total waste generation of 185 metric tonnes, of which 31.62% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Medibank is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2022, Medibank's total waste generation decreased by 18.65%, yet rose by 6.69% in 2024, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Medibank's waste recovery rate declined by 37.63%, with a further 38.39% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Medibank had been making progress in reducing waste, but recent increases in waste and simultaneous drops in recovery point to emerging risks or disruptions in waste management strategy.
