In 2026, Soitec generated a total of 7,315metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 21.06% of Soitec's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 77.34% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.The remaining 1.6% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
In 2026, Soitec reported a total waste generation of 7,315 metric tonnes, of which 21.06% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Soitec may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Since 2024, Soitec's total waste generation decreased by 2.12%, including a further 12.08% drop in 2026, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Soitec's waste recovery rate increased by 7%, including a 38.68% rise in 2026, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Soitec has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.
In 2026, Soitec generated a total of 7,315 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 90.68% of Soitec'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.7.72% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.The remaining 1.6% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
Since 2024, Soitec's total waste generation decreased by 2.12%, with an additional 12.08% decline in 2026, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste increased by 5.61%, while holding steady in 2026, pointing to potential stagnation in efforts to reduce harmful waste types after a period of worsening performance.a
Overall, Soitec'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 2026, Soitec reported that 6,633 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 90.68% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 14.7% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
