Insights into Ribbon Communications's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Ribbon Communications generated a total of 214 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 55.61% of Ribbon Communications's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 44.39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ribbon Communications's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ribbon Communications's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Ribbon Communications reported a total waste generation of 214 metric tonnes, of which 55.61% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Ribbon Communications is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Ribbon Communications reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, Ribbon Communications's total waste generation increased by 28.14%, including a 16.3% 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, Ribbon Communications's waste recovery rate increased by 1,060.81%, including a 21.81% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Ribbon Communications 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 Ribbon Communications reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2018, Ribbon Communications's total waste generation increased by 28.14%, including a 16.3% 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.
Since 2023, Ribbon Communications's hazardous waste generation has increased by 16.23%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, Ribbon Communications has seen a recent increase in both total waste and hazardous waste, which may indicate growing operational pressures or insufficient controls on harmful materials.
How does Ribbon Communications treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Ribbon Communications reported that 73 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 34.11% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Ribbon Communications has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
