Insights into NVIDIA's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, NVIDIA generated a total of 2,345metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 70.7% of NVIDIA's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 29.3% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
NVIDIA's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of NVIDIA's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, NVIDIA reported a total waste generation of 2,345 metric tonnes, of which 70.7% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that NVIDIA is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Has NVIDIA reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2022, NVIDIA's total waste generation increased by 150.27%, including a 26.35%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, NVIDIA's waste recovery rate increased by 25.95%, including a 22.87% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, NVIDIA has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2024. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

Insights into NVIDIA’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, NVIDIA generated a total of 2,345 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 2.6% of NVIDIA'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.95.39% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 2% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a

How NVIDIA reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2022, NVIDIA's total waste generation increased by 150.27%, including a 26.35% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, NVIDIA reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 53.13%, with a further 70.2% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, NVIDIA is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
How does NVIDIA treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, NVIDIA reported that 61 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 2.6% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that NVIDIA has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
