Insights into Uniper's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Uniper generated a total of 76,015,000 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 69.98% of Uniper's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 30.02% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Uniper's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Uniper's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Uniper reported a total waste generation of 76,015,000 metric tonnes, of which 69.98% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Uniper is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Uniper reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Uniper's total waste generation decreased by 52.44%, yet rose by 63.95% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Uniper's waste recovery rate increased by 146.07%, including a 11.9% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Uniper has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.

How Uniper reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Uniper's total waste generation fell by 52.44%, but rose by 63.95% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, Uniper saw a long-term increase of 200.83% in hazardous waste share, but a 1.65% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, Uniper'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 Uniper treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Uniper reported that 12,986,000 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 17.08% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 44.9% 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.
