Insights into OMV Petrom's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, OMV Petrom generated a total of 691,740 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 81.8% of OMV Petrom's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 18.2% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
OMV Petrom's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of OMV Petrom's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, OMV Petrom reported a total waste generation of 691,740 metric tonnes, of which 81.8% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that OMV Petrom has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has OMV Petrom reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, OMV Petrom's total waste generation increased by 60.71%, including a 3.96% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, OMV Petrom's waste recovery rate increased by 78.66%, including a 6.3% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, OMV Petrom has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. 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.

How OMV Petrom reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2018, OMV Petrom's total waste generation increased by 60.71%, including a 3.96% 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, OMV Petrom reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 38.82%, with a further 18.4% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, OMV Petrom 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.
How does OMV Petrom treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, OMV Petrom reported that 239,711 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 34.65% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (72.22%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that OMV Petrom has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
