Thales Waste Data Preview
In 2023, Thales conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into Thales's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Thales generated a total of 24,241 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 48.85% of Thales's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 23.47% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 27.68% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Thales's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Thales's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Thales reported a total waste generation of 24,241 metric tonnes, of which 48.85% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Thales is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Thales reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, Thales's total waste generation increased by 11.14%, but declined by 8.49% 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, Thales's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but declined by 13.79% in 2023, potentially pointing to emerging inefficiencies or short-term disruptions in recovery efforts.
Overall, Thales’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.

Insights into Thales’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Thales generated a total of 24,241 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 15.26% of Thales'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. 64.58% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls. The remaining 20.16% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

How Thales reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2018, Thales's total waste generation increased by 11.14%, including a 8.49% 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 decreased by 3%, yet rose by 10.83% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Thales'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 Thales treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Thales reported that 3,699 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 15.26% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 27.68% 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.
