Insights into Orange's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Orange generated a total of 59,896 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 85.42% of Orange's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 14.58% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Orange's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Orange's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Orange reported a total waste generation of 59,896 metric tonnes, of which 85.42% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Orange has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Orange reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Orange's total waste generation increased by 14.01%, including a 5.04% 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, Orange's waste recovery rate declined by 2%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, Orangeās waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How Orange reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Orange's total waste generation increased by 14.01%, including a 5.04% 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, Orange reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 16.24%, with a further 7.43% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Orange 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 Orange treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Orange reported that 26,120 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 43.61% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (91.9%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Orange has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
