Insights into FCC's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, FCC generated a total of 18,255,930 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 84.26% of FCC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 15.74% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

FCC's Waste Recovery Rate

84%

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

In 2023, FCC reported a total waste generation of 18,255,930 metric tonnes, of which 84.26% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that FCC has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has FCC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, FCC's total waste generation increased by 628.29%, including a 536.09% 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 FCC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, FCC's total waste generation increased by 628.29%, including a 536.09% 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, FCC reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 93.89%, with a further 90.86% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.

Overall, FCC 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 FCC treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, FCC reported that 122,914 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.67% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 16.43% 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.
