In 2024, Cosmax generated a total of 4,165metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 86.48% of Cosmax's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 13.49% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Cosmax reported a total waste generation of 4,165 metric tonnes, of which 86.48% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Cosmax has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2022, Cosmax's total waste generation increased by 1.88%, but declined by 6.95% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, Cosmax's waste recovery rate increased by 1.97%, while holding steady in 2024, suggesting past gains in recovery performance have stabilized.a
Overall, Cosmax’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 2024, Cosmax generated a total of 4,165 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 0.79% of Cosmax'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.99.21% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2022, Cosmax's total waste generation rose by 1.88%, but dropped by 6.95% in 2024, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 4.74%, yet rose by 22.29% in 2024, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.a
Overall, Cosmax's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.a
In 2024, Cosmax reported that 33 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.79% of its overall waste generation.a
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods.Approximately 30.3% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.a
