100%

How much of Daewoo E&C's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Daewoo E&C reported a total waste generation of 995,924 metric tonnes, of which 99.94% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Daewoo E&C has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has Daewoo E&C reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Daewoo E&C's total waste generation increased by 28.88%, including a 57.26% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.

Over the same period, Daewoo E&C's waste recovery rate remained stable both in the long term and in 2023, suggesting limited progress, or consistent recovery performance, without major shifts in strategy.

Overall, Daewoo E&C's waste generation is rising, yet its recovery rates have remained stagnant. This suggests that the company’s operational growth is not being matched by parallel improvements in its waste treatment practices, potentially increasing its environmental footprint.
