Insights into Hankook Tire & Technology's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hankook Tire & Technology generated a total of 136,145 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 27.95% of Hankook Tire & Technology's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.32% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 63.72% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Hankook Tire & Technology's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hankook Tire & Technology's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hankook Tire & Technology reported a total waste generation of 136,145 metric tonnes, of which 27.95% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Hankook Tire & Technology is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Hankook Tire & Technology reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2019, Hankook Tire & Technology's total waste generation increased by 146.49%, including a 179.85% 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, Hankook Tire & Technology's waste recovery rate declined by 64.05%, with a further 63.51% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Hankook Tire & Technology is generating more waste while simultaneously backsliding on recovery efforts, both in the short and long term. This dual negative trend raises concerns about the company’s waste management priorities and its alignment with sustainability goals.
