In 2025, SEB generated a total of 57,847metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 83.11% of SEB's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 15.49% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.The remaining 1.4% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
In 2025, SEB reported a total waste generation of 57,847 metric tonnes, of which 83.11% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that SEB has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2021, SEB's total waste generation decreased by 12.6%, and remained stable in 2025, which may indicate a new baseline following earlier reductions in waste output.a
Over the same period, SEB's waste recovery rate remained relatively stable.a
In 2025, SEB generated a total of 57,847 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 10.24% of SEB'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.88.36% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 1.4% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
Since 2021, SEB's total waste generation decreased by 12.6%, and remained stable in 2025, signaling a plateau following previous reductions that may mark a new waste baseline.a
Since 2025, SEB's hazardous waste generation has decreased by 10.09%, suggesting a recent shift toward safer materials, improved waste handling protocols, or stronger compliance with environmental standards.a
Overall, SEB'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.a
In 2025, SEB reported that 5,921 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 10.24% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (59.26%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that SEB has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
