Viscofan's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Viscofan's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Viscofan reported a total waste generation of 63,716 metric tonnes, of which 40.84% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Viscofan is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Viscofan reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2018, Viscofan's total waste generation increased by 19.27%, but declined by 7.44% 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, Viscofan's waste recovery rate declined by 10.99%, with a further 5.1% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Viscofan 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.
