Insights into Symrise's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Symrise generated a total of 247,768 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 67.1% of Symrise's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.68% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 20.23% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Symrise's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Symrise's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Symrise reported a total waste generation of 247,768 metric tonnes, of which 67.1% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Symrise is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Symrise reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Symrise's total waste generation increased by 9.53%, but declined by 7.42% 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, Symrise's waste recovery rate increased by 88.23%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, Symrise’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 Symrise reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Symrise's total waste generation increased by 9.53%, including a 7.42% rise in 2023, 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 in Symrise's total output increased by 25.23%, including a further 13.01% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, while Symrise has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.
