In 2023, Newell Brands reported a total waste generation of 31,439 metric tonnes, of which 66.43% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Newell Brands is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2021, Newell Brands's total waste generation decreased by 23.22%, yet rose by 8.29% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Newell Brands's waste recovery rate increased by 14.11%, including a 20.57% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Newell Brands 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.
