Insights into CCL Industries's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, CCL Industries generated a total of 109,495 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 56.91% of CCL Industries's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 43.09% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
CCL Industries's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of CCL Industries's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, CCL Industries reported a total waste generation of 109,495 metric tonnes, of which 56.91% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that CCL Industries is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has CCL Industries reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, CCL Industries's total waste generation increased by 18.79%, but declined by 10.43% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, CCL Industries's waste recovery rate increased by 31.02%, including a 14.82% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while CCL Industries has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.

How CCL Industries reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2019, CCL Industries's total waste generation increased by 18.79%, including a 10.43% 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.
Since 2023, CCL Industries's hazardous waste generation has decreased by 7.06%, suggesting a recent shift toward safer materials, improved waste handling protocols, or stronger compliance with environmental standards.
Overall, CCL Industries has reduced both its total waste and hazardous waste in the last year, suggesting effective waste management practices and improved material sourcing.
How does CCL Industries treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, CCL Industries reported that 3,642 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 3.33% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 37.34% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
