Insights into Schneider Electric's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Schneider Electric generated a total of 124,139 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 85.06% of Schneider Electric's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.84% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 6.1% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Schneider Electric's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Schneider Electric's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Schneider Electric reported a total waste generation of 124,139 metric tonnes, of which 85.06% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Schneider Electric has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Schneider Electric reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Schneider Electric's total waste generation remained relatively flat, but fell by 5.53% in 2023 , which may reflect the beginning of a downward trend in material intensity or waste generation.
Over the same period, Schneider Electric's waste recovery rate declined by 5.86%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, Schneider Electric’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 Schneider Electric reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Schneider Electric's total waste generation remained largely unchanged, but decreased by 5.53% in 2023 , which could signal the early stages of a reduction strategy.
Over the same period, Schneider Electric's hazardous waste share remained stable both over the long term and in 2023, reflecting consistent but static performance in managing hazardous materials.
Overall, Schneider Electric'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.
