Insights into Ryder System's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Ryder System generated a total of 28,845 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 22.98% of Ryder System's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 77.02% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ryder System's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ryder System's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Ryder System reported a total waste generation of 28,845 metric tonnes, of which 22.98% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Ryder System may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Ryder System reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Ryder System's total waste generation increased by 5.93%, including a 6.65% 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, Ryder System's waste recovery rate increased by 6.84%, but declined by 21.35% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Ryder System’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.
