Nokia Waste Data Preview
In 2023, Nokia conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into Nokia's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Nokia generated a total of 13,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 93.08% of Nokia's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 6.92% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Nokia's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Nokia's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Nokia reported a total waste generation of 13,000 metric tonnes, of which 93.08% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Nokia has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Nokia reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Nokia's total waste generation increased by 62.5%, but declined by 24.42% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Nokia's waste recovery rate increased by 88.51%, including a 16.01% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Nokia 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.

Insights into Nokia’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Nokia generated a total of 13,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 10.77% of Nokia'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. 88.46% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Nokia reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Nokia's total waste generation increased by 62.5%, including a 24.42% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Nokia saw a long-term increase of 72.31% in hazardous waste share, but a 49.94% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, Nokia'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.
How does Nokia treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Nokia reported that 1,400 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 10.77% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (101.43%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Nokia has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
