Insights into Raizen's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Raizen generated a total of 25,904,898 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 99.96% of Raizen's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.04% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Raizen's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Raizen's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Raizen reported a total waste generation of 25,904,898 metric tonnes, of which 99.96% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Raizen has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Raizen reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Raizen's total waste generation increased by 24.11%, but declined by 1.8% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Raizen's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2024, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Raizenās 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 Raizen reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Raizen's total waste generation increased by 24.11%, including a 1.8% rise in 2024, 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, Raizen reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 97.24%, with a further 61.21% decline in 2024, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Raizen has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.
How does Raizen treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Raizen reported that 30,919 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.12% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (85.45%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Raizen has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
