To preserve the earth's resources for future generations, we are moving to circular business models that eliminate waste and keep products and materials in use. Our Circularity Approach covers all stages of the product life cycle, from design and sourcing, through production and use, all the way to responsible end-of-life services.

To support our customers in meeting their circularity commitments, we have in place retrofit, take-back and recycling solutions and services that extend or give a second life to our products. Some examples include the recycling of large motors and the retrofitting of windmills, ships and robots. With this support, we ensure some of the world's most complex and critical infrastructure lasts longer and operates in the most efficient way.

We are assessing our Circularity Approach against the latest regulatory developments and key sustainability standards that address circularity and product performance.

Target

Send zero waste to landfill while reducing waste generation by 2030

We aim to send zero waste from our own operations to landfill by 2030, wherever this is compatible with local conditions and regulations, while developing our capability to prevent waste generation.

 

Progress

Non-hazardous waste to landfill

Target

Cover at least 80% of ABB's products and systems with our Circularity Approach by 2030 1

We are incorporating international standards into the ABB circularity framework to ensure it is robust, objective, quantifiable and auditable.

 

ABB’s Circularity Approach

1 Based on revenues from hardware-based products and solutions, where granularity of financial systems allows. Service revenues are excluded.

 

Progress

At the end of 2023, we had assessed 31% of ABB’s products and solutions in line with our target of covering 80% of our portfolio with ABB’s Circularity Approach by 2030.
