In 2023, Cleanaway generated a total of 21,942 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 4.44% of Cleanaway's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 95.56% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Cleanaway reported a total waste generation of 21,942 metric tonnes, of which 4.44% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Cleanaway may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Since 2021, Cleanaway's total waste generation decreased by 41.22%, including a further 38.89% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Cleanaway's waste recovery rate increased by 57,001.73%, but declined by 7.18% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Cleanaway’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.
In 2023, Cleanaway generated a total of 21,942 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.01% of Cleanaway'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. 99.99% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2021, Cleanaway's total waste generation decreased by 41.22%, with an additional 38.89% decline in 2023, suggesting a consistent and deliberate effort to minimize waste generation at the source.
Over the same period, Cleanaway saw a long-term increase of 54.66% in hazardous waste share, but a 33.59% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, while Cleanaway is generating less waste and has made recent gains in reducing hazardousness, the long-term increase in harmful materials still casts doubt on the sustainability of its waste stream.
