In 2024, YPF conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards.The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.
| Metric (tonnes) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021-2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total Waste Generated | 669,500a | 757,200a | 699,700a | |
Total Waste Recovered | 259,100a | 330,600a | 368,200a | |
Total Hazardous Waste Generated | 541,100a | 579,700a | 534,700a | |
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposed | 21,500a | 11,900a | 22,100a |

In 2024, YPF generated a total of 669,500metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 38.7% of YPF's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 44.9% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.The remaining 16.4% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.a
In 2024, YPF reported a total waste generation of 669,500 metric tonnes, of which 38.7% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that YPF is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2020, YPF's total waste generation increased by 114.58%, but declined by 11.58% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, YPF's waste recovery rate declined by 70.66%, with a further 11.36% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, YPF 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.
In 2024, YPF generated a total of 669,500 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 80.82% of YPF's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.19.18% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2020, YPF's total waste generation rose by 114.58%, but dropped by 11.58% in 2024, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in YPF's total output increased by 9.64%, including a further 5.57% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, while YPF has recently reduced waste output, its hazardous waste share continues to rise, raising concerns about treatment efficiency or growing reliance on harmful materials despite short-term volume improvements.a
In 2024, YPF reported that 541,100 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 80.82% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 38.66% 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.a
