Insights into PSEG's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, PSEG generated a total of 881,151 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 91.06% of PSEG's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.94% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
PSEG's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of PSEG's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, PSEG reported a total waste generation of 881,151 metric tonnes, of which 91.06% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that PSEG has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has PSEG reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, PSEG's total waste generation increased by 68.79%, including a 39.26% 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, PSEG's waste recovery rate increased by 20.07%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, PSEG’s 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 PSEG reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, PSEG's total waste generation increased by 68.79%, including a 39.26% 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, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 81.4%, yet rose by 5.89% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, PSEG'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.
