How Thule Group reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Thule Group's total waste generation increased by 3.47%, including a 16.68% 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 Thule Group's total output increased by 355.32%, including a further 138.78% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, while Thule Group 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.
How does Thule Group treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Thule Group reported that 1,126 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 14.64% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (99.29%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Thule Group has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
