Insights into Prysmian's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Prysmian generated a total of 235,164 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 71.8% of Prysmian's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 25.27% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 2.93% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Prysmian's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Prysmian's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Prysmian reported a total waste generation of 235,164 metric tonnes, of which 71.8% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Prysmian is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Prysmian reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Prysmian's total waste generation increased by 10.09%, but remained relatively stable in 2023, suggesting that past growth in waste production may have recently plateaued.
Over the same period, Prysmian's waste recovery rate increased by 4.48%, including a 1.47% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Prysmian continues to maintain a high level of waste generation, but steady recovery improvements point to more responsible waste handling and an ongoing investment in circularity.

How Prysmian reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Prysmian's total waste generation increased by 10.09%, including a 0.32% 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, Prysmian reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 19.24%, with a further 12.16% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Prysmian's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does Prysmian treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Prysmian reported that 12,381 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.26% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 48.68% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
