VAT Group's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of VAT Group's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, VAT Group reported a total waste generation of 4,534 metric tonnes, of which 66.61% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that VAT Group is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has VAT Group reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, VAT Group's total waste generation increased by 3.96%, but declined by 7.03% 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, VAT Group's waste recovery rate declined by 15.61%, with a further 3.34% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, VAT Group has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.
