Insights into Acwa Power's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Acwa Power generated a total of 32,632 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 29.09% of Acwa Power's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 70.92% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Acwa Power's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Acwa Power's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Acwa Power reported a total waste generation of 32,632 metric tonnes, of which 29.09% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Acwa Power is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Acwa Power reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Acwa Power's total waste generation increased by 38.96%, including a 25.71% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, Acwa Power's waste recovery rate increased by 16.06%, but declined by 30.52% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Acwa Power’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How Acwa Power reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Acwa Power's total waste generation increased by 38.96%, including a 25.71% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, Acwa Power reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 24.43%, with a further 42.04% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Acwa Power is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Acwa Power treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Acwa Power reported that 2,815 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 8.63% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.79% 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 Acwa Power’s current hazardous waste practices.
