Insights into Hanwha Ocean's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hanwha Ocean generated a total of 41,493 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 60.96% of Hanwha Ocean's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 37.2% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 1.84% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
Hanwha Ocean's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hanwha Ocean's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hanwha Ocean reported a total waste generation of 41,493 metric tonnes, of which 60.96% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Hanwha Ocean is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Hanwha Ocean reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Hanwha Ocean's total waste generation decreased by 17.96%, yet rose by 14.42% in 2023, potentially indicating a temporary operational shift or inconsistency in waste management outcomes.
Over the same period, Hanwha Ocean's waste recovery rate increased by 12.62%, including a 3.5% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, Hanwha Ocean has reduced its waste footprint over time and continues to strengthen its recovery efforts, despite a recent uptick in waste output. This may reflect short-term operational shifts rather than a long-term reversal.

How Hanwha Ocean reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Hanwha Ocean's total waste generation fell by 17.96%, but rose by 14.42% in 2023 , potentially reflecting a temporary surge in activity or inconsistency in waste control strategies.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Hanwha Ocean's total output increased by 13.41%, including a further 13.99% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Hanwha Ocean had previously reduced its waste generation, but recent increases in both volume and hazardousness suggest potential reversals or emerging operational risks that warrant further investigation.
How does Hanwha Ocean treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Hanwha Ocean reported that 3,807 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 9.18% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (59.73%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that Hanwha Ocean has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
