Insights into RTX's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, RTX generated a total of 127,260 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 77.94% of RTX's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 22.06% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
RTX's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of RTX's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, RTX reported a total waste generation of 127,260 metric tonnes, of which 77.94% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that RTX has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has RTX reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, RTX's total waste generation increased by 45.77%, including a 27.39% 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, RTX's waste recovery rate increased by 11.55%, including a 7.84% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, RTX 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.

Insights into RTX’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, RTX generated a total of 127,260 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 19.26% of RTX'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. 80.74% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How RTX reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, RTX's total waste generation increased by 45.77%, including a 27.39% 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, RTX reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 24.59%, with a further 14.47% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, RTX is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does RTX treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, RTX reported that 24,515 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 19.26% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 18% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
