In 2023, Welltower reported a total waste generation of 56,952 metric tonnes, of which 19.33% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Welltower may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives. a
Since 2018, Welltower's total waste generation increased by 15.7%, including a 35.92% 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. a
Over the same period, Welltower's waste recovery rate declined by 10.34%, with a further 19.22% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies. a
Overall, Welltower is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
