Renault Waste Data Preview
In 2023, Renault 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.

Insights into Renault's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Renault generated a total of 655,716 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 97.04% of Renault's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 2.96% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Renault's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Renault's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Renault reported a total waste generation of 655,716 metric tonnes, of which 97.04% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Renault has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Renault reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Renault's total waste generation increased by 6.02%, including a 6.45% 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, Renault's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Renault's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.

Insights into Renault’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Renault generated a total of 655,716 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 7.21% of Renault'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. 92.79% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Renault reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Renault's total waste generation increased by 6.02%, including a 6.45% 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 remained relatively flat but increased by 5.8% in 2023, which may indicate a recent uptick in high-risk waste production, potentially linked to material sourcing or product mix.
Overall, Renault'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 Renault treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Renault reported that 47,273 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 7.21% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (71.48%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Renault has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
