Emera's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Emera's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Emera reported a total waste generation of 302,500 metric tonnes, of which 22.99% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Emera may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Emera reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Emera's total waste generation decreased by 47.4%, including a further 31.34% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Emera's waste recovery rate declined by 11.56%, with a further 34.28% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Emera has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
