Insights into MetLife's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, MetLife generated a total of 1,550 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 50.76% of MetLife's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 49.24% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
MetLife's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of MetLife's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, MetLife reported a total waste generation of 1,550 metric tonnes, of which 50.76% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that MetLife is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has MetLife reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, MetLife's total waste generation decreased by 33.04%, yet rose by 6.06% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, MetLife's waste recovery rate declined by 11.3%, with a further 6.19% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, MetLife 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.
