Societe BIC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Societe BIC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Societe BIC reported a total waste generation of 19,790 metric tonnes, of which 65.6% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Societe BIC is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Societe BIC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Societe BIC's total waste generation increased by 1.55%, but declined by 4.46% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Societe BIC's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.
Overall, Societe BIC’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.
