In 2025, NetApp generated a total of 2,238metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 84.19% of NetApp's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 15.8% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, NetApp reported a total waste generation of 2,238 metric tonnes, of which 84.19% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that NetApp has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2023, NetApp's total waste generation increased by 28.46%, including a 11.28%increase in 2025, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, NetApp's waste recovery rate increased by 2.86%, including a 1.23% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, NetApp has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2025. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
In 2025, NetApp generated a total of 2,238 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0% of NetApp'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.100% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, NetApp's total waste generation increased by 28.46%, including a 11.28% rise in 2025, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, NetApp reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 61.08%, with a further 55.07% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, NetApp is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
