In 2024, Adani Green Energy generated a total of 5,860 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 5.34% of Adani Green Energy'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. 94.66% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2022, Adani Green Energy's total waste generation increased by 41.2%, including a 89.64% rise in 2024, 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, the share of hazardous waste in Adani Green Energy's total output increased by 489.76%, including a further 1,535.47% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Adani Green Energy has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
In 2024, Adani Green Energy reported that 313 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 5.34% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Adani Green Energy has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
