Insights into Barrick Mining's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Barrick Mining generated a total of 532,630,460 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.01% of Barrick Mining's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.01% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 99.98% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Barrick Mining's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Barrick Mining's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Barrick Mining reported a total waste generation of 532,630,460 metric tonnes, of which 0.01% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Barrick Mining may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Barrick Mining reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Barrick Mining's total waste generation increased by 606,029.75%, including a 346,058.39% 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, Barrick Mining's waste recovery rate declined by 99.98%, with a further 99.97% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Barrick Mining is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
