Operational Waste
McCormick's waste management goal seeks to recycle and recover 85% of solid waste from our facilities by 2030. We are making progress toward our goal by diverting waste through recycling streams and by composting food waste. Waste management draws on the logistical expertise of our staff to design site specific plans to manage waste based on local waste management infrastructure.
REDUCING WASTE ACROSS OUR FACILITIES
In 2025, we diverted 80% of waste from landfill, up from 73% in 2024—demonstrating strong year‑over‑year improvement across all regions, with localized action plans based on the type of waste and disposal method. Our Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region achieved a 97% recycling rate, contributing significantly to our global performance increase. While infrastructure limitations in some areas continue to constrain further gains, we are actively expanding local solutions to advance waste recovery and recycling efforts.
