Insights into GeoPark's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, GeoPark generated a total of 2,231 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 20.1% of GeoPark's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 79.9% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
GeoPark's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of GeoPark's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, GeoPark reported a total waste generation of 2,231 metric tonnes, of which 20.1% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that GeoPark may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has GeoPark reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, GeoPark's total waste generation increased by 43.26%, but declined by 46.79% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, GeoPark's waste recovery rate remained relatively flat, but declined by 35.65% in 2023, potentially pointing to emerging inefficiencies or short-term disruptions in recovery efforts.
Overall, GeoParkās waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How GeoPark reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, GeoPark's total waste generation increased by 43.26%, including a 46.79% 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, GeoPark saw a long-term increase of 15.55% in hazardous waste share, but a 6.43% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, GeoPark's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does GeoPark treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, GeoPark reported that 661 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 29.63% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 0.54% 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 GeoParkās current hazardous waste practices.
