Insights into Aker BP's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Aker BP generated a total of 52,379 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 14.99% of Aker BP's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 85.01% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Aker BP's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Aker BP's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Aker BP reported a total waste generation of 52,379 metric tonnes, of which 14.99% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Aker BP may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Aker BP reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Aker BP's total waste generation increased by 23.65%, including a 60.27% 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, Aker BP's waste recovery rate declined by 2.26%, with a further 9.84% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Aker BP is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

Insights into Aker BP’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Aker BP generated a total of 52,379 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 96.57% of Aker BP'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. 3.44% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Aker BP reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Aker BP's total waste generation increased by 23.65%, including a 60.27% 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, the share of hazardous waste remained relatively flat but increased by 1.14% in 2023, which may indicate a recent uptick in high-risk waste production, potentially linked to material sourcing or product mix.
Overall, Aker BP'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 Aker BP treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Aker BP reported that 50,580 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 96.57% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 12.23% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
