In 2025, Alpek generated a total of 78,300metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 22.61% of Alpek's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 77.39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2025, Alpek reported a total waste generation of 78,300 metric tonnes, of which 22.61% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Alpek may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.a
Since 2022, Alpek's total waste generation decreased by 25.78%, including a further 20.1% drop in 2025, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.a
Over the same period, Alpek's waste recovery rate declined by 24.05%, with a further 3.68% drop in 2025, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, while Alpek has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
In 2025, Alpek generated a total of 78,300 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 3.19% of Alpek'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.96.81% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Alpek's total waste generation decreased by 25.78%, with an additional 20.1% decline in 2025, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Alpek's total output increased by 87.14%, including a further 73.83% rise in 2025, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
Overall, Alpek'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.a
In 2025, Alpek reported that 2,500 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 3.19% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (52%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Alpek has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
