Insights into Alamos Gold's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Alamos Gold generated a total of 27,536,798 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 8.74% of Alamos Gold's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 100.35% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Alamos Gold's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Alamos Gold's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Alamos Gold reported a total waste generation of 27,536,798 metric tonnes, of which 8.74% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Alamos Gold may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Alamos Gold reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Alamos Gold's total waste generation decreased by 20.23%, including a further 22.46% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Alamos Gold's waste recovery rate increased by 584.13%, including a 83.65% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Alamos Gold has made measurable progress in reducing its waste generation while strengthening recovery systems. This dual improvement indicates a mature and proactive approach to environmental performance.

How Alamos Gold reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Alamos Gold's total waste generation decreased by 20.23%, with an additional 22.46% 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 in Alamos Gold's total output increased by 26.94%, including a further 28.24% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Alamos Gold'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 Alamos Gold treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Alamos Gold reported that 24,256,398 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 88.09% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 6.86% 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 Alamos Gold’s current hazardous waste practices.
