In 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

In 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals generated a total of 7,360 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 90.81% of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 9.19% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals reported a total waste generation of 7,360 metric tonnes, of which 90.81% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2020, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's total waste generation increased by 18.52%, but declined by 10.24% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's waste recovery rate declined by 4.36%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’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.
In 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals generated a total of 7,360 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 18.75% of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 81.25% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2020, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's total waste generation increased by 18.52%, including a 10.24% 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 in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals's total output increased by 10.89%, including a further 9.04% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, while Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.
In 2023, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals reported that 1,380 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 18.75% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (64%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
