In 2023, Giant Manufacturing conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

In 2023, Giant Manufacturing generated a total of 20,329 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 83.68% of Giant Manufacturing's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 16.32% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
In 2023, Giant Manufacturing reported a total waste generation of 20,329 metric tonnes, of which 83.68% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Giant Manufacturing has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Since 2020, Giant Manufacturing's total waste generation increased by 26.52%, but declined by 19.52% 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, Giant Manufacturing's waste recovery rate increased by 64.25%, including a 5.74% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, while Giant Manufacturing has increased waste over the long term, recent reductions in waste generation and strong improvements in recovery indicate a strategic pivot toward better waste management and more sustainable practices.
In 2023, Giant Manufacturing generated a total of 20,329 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 25.14% of Giant Manufacturing's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 74.86% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.
Since 2020, Giant Manufacturing's total waste generation increased by 26.52%, including a 19.52% 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, Giant Manufacturing reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 15.64%, with a further 15.86% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Giant Manufacturing has increased waste over time but is now demonstrating meaningful progress in both reducing waste generation and lowering its hazardous content, potentially signaling a turning point toward sustainability.
In 2023, Giant Manufacturing reported that 5,112 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 25.14% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (88.45%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Giant Manufacturing has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
