In 2023, Aselsan generated a total of 2,456metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 92.48% of Aselsan's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 7.52% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2023, Aselsan reported a total waste generation of 2,456 metric tonnes, of which 92.48% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Aselsan has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2020, Aselsan's total waste generation increased by 31.92%, including a 31.32%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, Aselsan's waste recovery rate increased by 3.21%, including a 22.42% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.a
Overall, Aselsan has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
In 2023, Aselsan generated a total of 2,456 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 21.24% of Aselsan'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.78.76% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2020, Aselsan's total waste generation increased by 31.92%, including a 31.32% 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.a
Over the same period, Aselsan reduced the share of hazardous waste by 7.27%, then maintained stable levels in 2023, potentially marking the consolidation of earlier progress in eliminating high-risk materials from its waste stream.a
Overall, Aselsan's growing waste output continues to pressure the environment, though past reductions in hazardousness have held steady, suggesting a neutralizing effect that should be actively monitored.a
In 2023, Aselsan reported that 522 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 21.24% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.A majority (64.57%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Aselsan has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.a
