How Watts Water Technologies reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2018, Watts Water Technologies's total waste generation increased by 499.99%, including a 181.9% 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, Watts Water Technologies reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 86.03%, with a further 73.42% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.

Overall, Watts Water Technologies 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.

How does Watts Water Technologies treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Watts Water Technologies reported that 1,729 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 13.97% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.69% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Watts Water Technologies’s current hazardous waste practices.
