Insights into Bukit Asam's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Bukit Asam generated a total of 5,097 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 7.63% of Bukit Asam's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 79.29% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 13.08% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Bukit Asam's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Bukit Asam's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Bukit Asam reported a total waste generation of 5,097 metric tonnes, of which 7.63% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Bukit Asam may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Bukit Asam reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Bukit Asam's total waste generation increased by 82.42%, including a 31.72% 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, Bukit Asam's waste recovery rate declined by 28.75%, with a further 1.92% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Bukit Asam 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.

How Bukit Asam reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Bukit Asam's total waste generation increased by 82.42%, including a 31.72% 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, the share of hazardous waste in Bukit Asam's total output increased by 4.64%, including a further 1.62% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Bukit Asam has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
How does Bukit Asam treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Bukit Asam reported that 4,831 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 94.78% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 3.19% 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 Bukit Asam’s current hazardous waste practices.
