Central Asia Metals's Waste Recovery Rate

0%

How much of Central Asia Metals's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Central Asia Metals reported a total waste generation of 883,608 metric tonnes, of which 0.29% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Central Asia Metals may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.

Has Central Asia Metals reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Central Asia Metals's total waste generation increased by 5%, including a 10.51% 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, Central Asia Metals's waste recovery rate declined by 3%, with a further 11.8% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, Central Asia Metals 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.
