Insights into Siemens Healthineers's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Siemens Healthineers generated a total of 28,800 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 87.5% of Siemens Healthineers's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.5% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Siemens Healthineers's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Siemens Healthineers's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Siemens Healthineers reported a total waste generation of 28,800 metric tonnes, of which 87.5% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Siemens Healthineers has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Siemens Healthineers reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Siemens Healthineers's total waste generation increased by 29.15%, but declined by 19.55% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Siemens Healthineers's waste recovery rate increased by 829.17%, including a 1.05% rise in 2024, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Siemens Healthineers has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.

Insights into Siemens Healthineers’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, Siemens Healthineers generated a total of 28,800 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 12.85% of Siemens Healthineers'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. 82.99% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 4.17% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Siemens Healthineers reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Siemens Healthineers's total waste generation increased by 29.15%, including a 19.55% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 13.18%, yet rose by 31.41% in 2024, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Siemens Healthineers'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.
How does Siemens Healthineers treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, Siemens Healthineers reported that 3,700 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 12.85% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (75.68%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Siemens Healthineers has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
