In 2024, Netcare reported a total waste generation of 9,384 metric tonnes, of which 33.57% 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.
Since 2022, Netcare's total waste generation increased by 1.14%, but declined by 4.67% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Netcare's waste recovery rate increased by 184.94%, including a 85.64% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Netcare has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
