Insights into Doosan Enerbility's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Doosan Enerbility generated a total of 88,499 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 61.41% of Doosan Enerbility's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 6.43% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 32.16% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Doosan Enerbility's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Doosan Enerbility's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Doosan Enerbility reported a total waste generation of 88,499 metric tonnes, of which 61.41% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Doosan Enerbility is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Doosan Enerbility reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Doosan Enerbility's total waste generation increased by 140.36%, including a 37.02% 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, Doosan Enerbility's waste recovery rate declined by 32.42%, with a further 16.19% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Doosan Enerbility is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.

Insights into Doosan Enerbility’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Doosan Enerbility generated a total of 88,499 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 4.49% of Doosan Enerbility'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. 95.51% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Doosan Enerbility reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Doosan Enerbility's total waste generation increased by 140.36%, including a 37.02% 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, Doosan Enerbility reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 43.08%, with a further 13.61% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Doosan Enerbility is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
How does Doosan Enerbility treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Doosan Enerbility reported that 3,977 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.49% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 21.42% 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.
