Insights into Energy of Minas Gerais's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Energy of Minas Gerais generated a total of 60,897 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 99.77% of Energy of Minas Gerais's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 0.23% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Energy of Minas Gerais's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Energy of Minas Gerais's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Energy of Minas Gerais reported a total waste generation of 60,897 metric tonnes, of which 99.77% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Energy of Minas Gerais has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Energy of Minas Gerais reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Energy of Minas Gerais's total waste generation increased by 51.21%, including a 35.72% 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, Energy of Minas Gerais'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, Energy of Minas Gerais'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.
