Insights into Gruma's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Gruma generated a total of 345,562 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 87.36% of Gruma's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.64% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Gruma's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Gruma's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Gruma reported a total waste generation of 345,562 metric tonnes, of which 87.36% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Gruma has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Gruma reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Gruma's total waste generation increased by 95,359.12%, including a 2.93% 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, Gruma's waste recovery rate increased by 69.11%, but declined by 9.93% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Gruma’s 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 Gruma reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Gruma's total waste generation increased by 95,359.12%, including a 2.93% 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, Gruma reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 99.95%, with a further 49.97% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, Gruma 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.
