Insights into TotalEnergies's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, TotalEnergies generated a total of 521,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 61% of TotalEnergies's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
TotalEnergies's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of TotalEnergies's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, TotalEnergies reported a total waste generation of 521,000 metric tonnes, of which 61% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that TotalEnergies is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has TotalEnergies reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, TotalEnergies's total waste generation decreased by 21.3%, yet rose by 4.62% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, TotalEnergies's waste recovery rate declined by 6.15%, and then remained stable in 2023, possibly indicating that earlier setbacks have leveled off without signs of active improvement.
Overall, TotalEnergies’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.
