In 2023, China Mobile conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

In 2023, China Mobile generated a total of 104,400 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 60.82% of China Mobile's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 39.18% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, China Mobile reported a total waste generation of 104,400 metric tonnes, of which 60.82% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that China Mobile is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2021, China Mobile's total waste generation decreased by 1.23%, yet rose by 26.55% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, China Mobile's waste recovery rate declined by 19.44%, with a further 1.8% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, China Mobile had been making progress in reducing waste, but recent increases in waste and simultaneous drops in recovery point to emerging risks or disruptions in waste management strategy.
In 2023, China Mobile generated a total of 104,400 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 39.18% of China Mobile'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. 60.82% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, China Mobile's total waste generation fell by 1.23%, but rose by 26.55% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in China Mobile's total output increased by 69.02%, including a further 3.92% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, China Mobile had previously reduced its waste generation, but recent increases in both volume and hazardousness suggest potential reversals or emerging operational risks that warrant further investigation.
