Insights into Vitrolife's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Vitrolife generated a total of 548 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 27.99% of Vitrolife's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 76.38% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Vitrolife's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Vitrolife's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Vitrolife reported a total waste generation of 548 metric tonnes, of which 27.99% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Vitrolife is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Vitrolife reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Vitrolife's total waste generation increased by 357.93%, including a 436.24% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.

How Vitrolife reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Vitrolife's total waste generation increased by 357.93%, including a 436.24% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Vitrolife's total output increased by 296.1%, including a further 185.73% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Vitrolife has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
How does Vitrolife treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Vitrolife reported that 24 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.31% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 41.37% 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.
