Insights into China General Plastics's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, China General Plastics generated a total of 4,924 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 80.74% of China General Plastics's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 19.26% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
China General Plastics's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of China General Plastics's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, China General Plastics reported a total waste generation of 4,924 metric tonnes, of which 80.74% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that China General Plastics has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has China General Plastics reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, China General Plastics's total waste generation increased by 20.56%, including a 50.37% 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, China General Plastics's waste recovery rate declined by 6.56%, yet improved by 4.78% in 2023, pointing to a recent rebound or renewed focus on better waste treatment outcomes.
Overall, China General Plastics’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How China General Plastics reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, China General Plastics's total waste generation increased by 20.56%, including a 50.37% 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 China General Plastics's total output increased by 294.12%, including a further 182.8% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, China General Plastics 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 China General Plastics treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, China General Plastics reported that 198 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.02% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (69.8%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that China General Plastics has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
