In 2024, Celltrion generated a total of 2,631metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 48.73% of Celltrion's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 51.27% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Celltrion reported a total waste generation of 2,631 metric tonnes, of which 48.73% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This moderate level of recovery indicates that Celltrion is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.a
Since 2021, Celltrion's total waste generation increased by 44.4%, including a 18.67%increase in 2024, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.a
Over the same period, Celltrion's waste recovery rate declined by 9.78%, with a further 16.97% drop in 2024, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.a
Overall, Celltrion 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.
In 2024, Celltrion generated a total of 2,631 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 7.98% of Celltrion's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.92.02% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2021, Celltrion's total waste generation increased by 44.4%, including a 18.67% rise in 2024, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 31.72%, yet rose by 11.29% in 2024, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, Celltrion'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.a
In 2024, Celltrion reported that 210 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 7.98% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 23.81% 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.a
