Measuring Our Progress

Hazardous Waste

Boeing has reduced operational hazardous waste on a revenue-adjusted basis by 44 percent since 2002. Operational hazardous waste does not include wastes derived from construction or remediation activities. On an absolute basis, Boeing decreased operational hazardous waste generation by 15 percent in 2010 from the previous year, reflecting enhanced management of chemical tank line operations.

  • Includes data from core metric sites; El Paso, Tex; Heath, Ohio; Macon, Ga.; Palmdale, Calif.; Portland — PDX, Ore.; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Sylmar, Calif.
  • 1 U.S. ton = approximately 0.91 metric tons.
  • Hazardous waste data for 2007–2009 has been restated to reflect the addition of Portland – PDX, a facility in Oregon used by Boeing to paint twin-aisle airplanes.
  • 2007 and 2008 data has been restated because a site misclassified operational hazardous waste as nonoperational hazardous waste.
  • 2008 data reflects reduced production as a result of a labor strike.
  • Operational hazardous waste does not include wastes derived from remediation and construction activities.
  • Total normalized for divestitures by excluding Boeing Commercial Airplanes Wichita (now Spirit AeroSystem) from 2002 to 2005. Boeing Defense, Space & Security's Wichita operations are included in this data.
