In 2025, Siemens AG conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards.The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.
| Metric (tonnes) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 188,127a | 345,500b | 261,000b | |
Total Waste Recovered | 152,789a | 318,800b | 238,300b | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 12,058a | 12,800b | 12,700b | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | 31,044a | 9,200b | 10,300b |

In 2025, Siemens AG generated a total of 188,127metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 81.22% of Siemens AG's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 18.78% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Siemens AG reported a total waste generation of 188,127 metric tonnes, of which 81.22% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Siemens AG has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2023, Siemens AG's total waste generation decreased by 27.92%, including a further 45.55% drop in 2025, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.ab
Over the same period, Siemens AG's waste recovery rate declined by 11.05%, with a further 11.98% drop in 2025, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.ab
Overall, while Siemens AG has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
In 2025, Siemens AG generated a total of 188,127 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 6.41% of Siemens AG'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.93.59% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2023, Siemens AG's total waste generation decreased by 27.92%, with an additional 45.55% decline in 2025, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.ab
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Siemens AG's total output increased by 31.72%, including a further 73.01% rise in 2025, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.ab
Overall, Siemens AG'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.ab
In 2025, Siemens AG reported that 12,058 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 6.41% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (64.38%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Siemens AG has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
