In 2023, China TCM 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 TCM generated a total of 84,162 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 16.19% of China TCM's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 83.81% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, China TCM reported a total waste generation of 84,162 metric tonnes, of which 16.19% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that China TCM may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2021, China TCM's total waste generation increased by 66.1%, but declined by 2.69% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, China TCM's waste recovery rate declined by 68.5%, with a further 19.9% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, China TCM has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.
In 2023, China TCM generated a total of 84,162 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.17% of China TCM'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. 99.83% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, China TCM's total waste generation increased by 66.1%, including a 2.69% 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, China TCM reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 25.11%, with a further 49.44% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, China TCM has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.
