Insights into ACS's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, ACS generated a total of 14,260,355 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 88.02% of ACS's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 11.98% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
ACS's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of ACS's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, ACS reported a total waste generation of 14,260,355 metric tonnes, of which 88.02% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that ACS has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has ACS reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, ACS's total waste generation decreased by 12.51%, including a further 10.23% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, ACS's waste recovery rate increased by 3.59%.

Insights into ACS’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, ACS generated a total of 14,260,355 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 1.17% of ACS'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. 98.83% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How ACS reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, ACS's total waste generation decreased by 12.51%, with an additional 10.23% 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 decreased by 46.65%, yet rose by 33.78% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, ACS'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 ACS treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, ACS reported that 167,247 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 1.17% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 1.53% 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 ACS’s current hazardous waste practices.
