82%

How much of Pegavision's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Pegavision reported a total waste generation of 2,648,022 metric tonnes, of which 81.82% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Pegavision has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Pegavision reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Pegavision's total waste generation increased by 2.74%, including a 5.18% 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, Pegavision's waste recovery rate declined by 8.41%, with a further 5.98% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, Pegavision is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
