Insights into Telia's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Telia generated a total of 79,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 72% of Telia's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 28% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Telia's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Telia's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Telia reported a total waste generation of 79,000 metric tonnes, of which 72% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Telia is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Telia reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Telia's total waste generation decreased by 32.48%, including a further 23.3% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Telia's waste recovery rate declined by 11.11%, with a further 5.26% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Telia has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.

How Telia reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Telia's total waste generation decreased by 32.48%, with an additional 23.3% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Telia's total output increased by 54.83%, including a further 24.95% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Telia'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.
