Insights into EVN's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, EVN generated a total of 336,654 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 77.48% of EVN's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 22.52% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

EVN's Waste Recovery Rate

77%

How much of EVN's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, EVN reported a total waste generation of 336,654 metric tonnes, of which 77.48% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that EVN has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has EVN reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, EVN's total waste generation increased by 93.03%, including a 96.63% 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.

How EVN reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, EVN's total waste generation increased by 93.03%, including a 96.63% 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, EVN reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 52.85%, with a further 44.58% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.

Overall, EVN 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 EVN treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, EVN reported that 15,918 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.73% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 4.45% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with EVN’s current hazardous waste practices.
