Insights into BDMS's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, BDMS generated a total of 16,210 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 17.01% of BDMS's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 82.99% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
BDMS's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of BDMS's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, BDMS reported a total waste generation of 16,210 metric tonnes, of which 17.01% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that BDMS may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has BDMS reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, BDMS's total waste generation increased by 106.13%, including a 22.54% 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.

How BDMS reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, BDMS's total waste generation increased by 106.13%, including a 22.54% 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.
Overall, BDMS'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.
How does BDMS treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, BDMS reported that 4,939 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 30.47% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.02% 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 BDMS’s current hazardous waste practices.
