How Zoetis reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Zoetis's total waste generation decreased by 6.85%, with an additional 7% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Zoetis's total output increased by 16.67%, including a further 1.01% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Zoetis's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does Zoetis treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Zoetis reported that 14,275 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 49.15% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 3.26% 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 Zoetis’s current hazardous waste practices.
