Insights into Siemens Gamesa's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Siemens Gamesa generated a total of 58,012metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 80.5% of Siemens Gamesa's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 19.5% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
Siemens Gamesa's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Siemens Gamesa's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Siemens Gamesa reported a total waste generation of 58,012 metric tonnes, of which 80.5% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Siemens Gamesa has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Has Siemens Gamesa reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Siemens Gamesa's total waste generation remained relatively flat, but increased by 11.81% in 2023, potentially signaling a short-term operational expansion or reduced focus on waste prevention.a
Over the same period, Siemens Gamesa's waste recovery rate increased by 4.62%, including a 5.16% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Siemens Gamesa’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 Siemens Gamesa reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Siemens Gamesa's total waste generation remained relatively stable, but increased by 11.81% in 2023, potentially indicating a short-term uptick in output or weakened controls over material efficiency.a
Over the same period, Siemens Gamesa reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 19.91%, with a further 18.89% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Siemens Gamesa'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
How does Siemens Gamesa treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Siemens Gamesa reported that 6,432 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 11.09% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (64.89%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Siemens Gamesa has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
