Insights into Schaeffler's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Schaeffler generated a total of 731,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 94.25% of Schaeffler's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 5.75% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Schaeffler's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Schaeffler's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Schaeffler reported a total waste generation of 731,000 metric tonnes, of which 94.25% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Schaeffler has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Schaeffler reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Schaeffler's total waste generation increased by 322.54%, but declined by 1.35% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Schaeffler's waste recovery rate increased by 30.45%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, Schaeffler’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.

How Schaeffler reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Schaeffler's total waste generation increased by 322.54%, including a 1.35% 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, Schaeffler reduced the share of hazardous waste by 79.15%, then maintained stable levels in 2023, potentially marking the consolidation of earlier progress in eliminating high-risk materials from its waste stream.
Overall, Schaeffler'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.
