In 2025, Netcare generated a total of 9,721metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 52.45% of Netcare's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 47.55% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Netcare reported a total waste generation of 9,721 metric tonnes, of which 52.45% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Netcare is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2023, Netcare's total waste generation decreased by 1.25%, yet rose by 3.58% in 2025, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.a
Over the same period, Netcare's waste recovery rate increased by 130.82%, including a 29.07% rise in 2025, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Netcare has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.
In 2025, Netcare generated a total of 9,721 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 48.04% of Netcare'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.51.96% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, Netcare's total waste generation fell by 1.25%, but rose by 3.58% in 2025, potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.a
Over the same period, Netcare reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 6.13%, with a further 3.66% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Netcare's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.a
In 2025, Netcare reported that 4,670 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 48.04% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 29.91% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
