Insights into Ampol's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Ampol generated a total of 30,051 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 17.72% of Ampol's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 82.28% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Ampol's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Ampol's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Ampol reported a total waste generation of 30,051 metric tonnes, of which 17.72% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Ampol may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Ampol reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Ampol's total waste generation increased by 10.9%, including a 30.03% 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, Ampol's waste recovery rate declined by 68.64%, yet improved by 106.03% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, Ampol’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.

Insights into Ampol’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Ampol generated a total of 30,051 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 51.1% of Ampol'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. 48.9% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Ampol reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, Ampol's total waste generation increased by 10.9%, including a 30.03% 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, Ampol reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 27.47%, with a further 31.4% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Ampol 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 Ampol treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Ampol reported that 15,356 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 51.1% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 4.34% 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 Ampol’s current hazardous waste practices.
