Insights into Schindler Holding's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Schindler Holding generated a total of 55,491 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 80.31% of Schindler Holding's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 19.69% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Schindler Holding's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Schindler Holding's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Schindler Holding reported a total waste generation of 55,491 metric tonnes, of which 80.31% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Schindler Holding has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Schindler Holding reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Schindler Holding's total waste generation increased by 19.53%, including a 15.36% 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, Schindler Holding's waste recovery rate declined by 7.52%, with a further 1.49% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Schindler Holding is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
