How much of CelcomDigi's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, CelcomDigi reported a total waste generation of 902 metric tonnes, of which 7.69% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that CelcomDigi may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.

Has CelcomDigi reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, CelcomDigi's total waste generation increased by 190.9%, including a 178.33% 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, CelcomDigi's waste recovery rate declined by 85.45%, with a further 89.91% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, CelcomDigi 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.
