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. a
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. a
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. a
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. a
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.
