Insights into CJ's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, CJ generated a total of 71,624 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 90.33% of CJ's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 7.72% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 1.95% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
CJ's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of CJ's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, CJ reported a total waste generation of 71,624 metric tonnes, of which 90.33% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that CJ has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has CJ reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, CJ's total waste generation increased by 6.76%, but declined by 3.46% 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, CJ's waste recovery rate increased by 3.01%, while holding steady in 2023, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.
Overall, CJ’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 CJ reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, CJ's total waste generation increased by 6.76%, including a 3.46% 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, CJ reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 10.66%, with a further 8.6% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, CJ 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.
How does CJ treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, CJ reported that 165 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.23% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (57.58%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that CJ has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
