Insights into Resmed's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Resmed generated a total of 7,823 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 68.58% of Resmed's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 30.21% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 1.21% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Resmed's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Resmed's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Resmed reported a total waste generation of 7,823 metric tonnes, of which 68.58% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Resmed is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Resmed reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Resmed's total waste generation increased by 105.09%, including a 13.33% 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, Resmed's waste recovery rate increased by 31.85%, including a 2.84% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Resmed has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

How Resmed reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Resmed's total waste generation increased by 105.09%, including a 13.33% 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 Resmed's total output increased by 27.64%, including a further 143.81% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Resmed has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
