How Nordex reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Nordex's total waste generation increased by 37.06%, including a 12.63% 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, the share of hazardous waste in Nordex's total output increased by 314%, including a further 52.05% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.

Overall, Nordex has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.

How does Nordex treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Nordex reported that 10,225 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 34.85% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 5.38% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Nordex’s current hazardous waste practices.
