In 2025, Vermilion Energy generated a total of 371,958metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 1.88% of Vermilion Energy's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 98.12% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Vermilion Energy reported a total waste generation of 371,958 metric tonnes, of which 1.88% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Vermilion Energy may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Since 2021, Vermilion Energy's total waste generation increased by 141.1%, including a 67.1%increase in 2025, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Vermilion Energy's waste recovery rate increased by 37.43%, but declined by 38.73% in 2025, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.a
Overall, Vermilion Energy’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.
In 2025, Vermilion Energy generated a total of 371,958 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 5.6% of Vermilion Energy'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.94.4% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Vermilion Energy's total waste generation increased by 141.1%, including a 67.1% rise in 2025, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, Vermilion Energy reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 46.73%, with a further 58.47% decline in 2025, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.a
Overall, Vermilion Energy is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.a
In 2025, Vermilion Energy reported that 20,839 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.6% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 12.88% 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.a
