China TCM's Waste Recovery Rate

16%

How much of China TCM's waste is recycled or recovered?

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.

Has China TCM reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

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.
