Insights into Hanwha AeroSpace's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, Hanwha AeroSpace generated a total of 5,563 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 68.96% of Hanwha AeroSpace's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 16.39% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 14.65% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.

Hanwha AeroSpace's Waste Recovery Rate

69%

How much of Hanwha AeroSpace's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, Hanwha AeroSpace reported a total waste generation of 5,563 metric tonnes, of which 68.96% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Hanwha AeroSpace is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.

Has Hanwha AeroSpace reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, Hanwha AeroSpace's total waste generation increased by 367.48%, including a 177.59% 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, Hanwha AeroSpace's waste recovery rate declined by 18.92%, with a further 20.12% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.

Overall, Hanwha AeroSpace 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.

How Hanwha AeroSpace reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, Hanwha AeroSpace's total waste generation increased by 367.48%, including a 177.59% 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, Hanwha AeroSpace reduced the share of hazardous waste by 25.55%, then maintained stable levels in 2023, potentially marking the consolidation of earlier progress in eliminating high-risk materials from its waste stream.

Overall, Hanwha AeroSpace's growing waste output continues to pressure the environment, though past reductions in hazardousness have held steady, suggesting a neutralizing effect that should be actively monitored.

How does Hanwha AeroSpace treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, Hanwha AeroSpace reported that 1,862 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 33.47% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (86.63%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Hanwha AeroSpace has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
