Waters's Waste Recovery Rate

31%

How much of Waters's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Waters reported a total waste generation of 608 metric tonnes, of which 31.09% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Waters is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has Waters reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2020, Waters's total waste generation increased by 10.34%, including a 13.22% 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.

Over the same period, Waters's waste recovery rate increased by 2.56%, but declined by 9.77% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.

Overall, Waters’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.
