Insights into Hiab's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Hiab generated a total of 13,800 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 70.94% of Hiab's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 29.13% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Hiab's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Hiab's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Hiab reported a total waste generation of 13,800 metric tonnes, of which 70.94% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Hiab is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has Hiab reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Hiab's total waste generation increased by 15.48%, including a 11.83% 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, Hiab's waste recovery rate declined by 11.6%, with a further 10.49% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Hiab 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.

Insights into Hiab’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, Hiab generated a total of 13,800 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 12.83% of Hiab'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. 87.25% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How Hiab reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, Hiab's total waste generation increased by 15.48%, including a 11.83% 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, the share of hazardous waste in Hiab's total output increased by 96.5%, including a further 63.17% rise in 2023, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.
Overall, Hiab has seen a continuous rise in both total waste and hazardous waste over time, signaling a worsening environmental impact that may require urgent reassessment of material sourcing, production processes, or waste mitigation strategies.
How does Hiab treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Hiab reported that 1,770 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 12.83% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Only 7.91% of hazardous waste was recovered, meaning the vast majority was treated through disposal methods such as landfilling or incineration. This raises concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with Hiab’s current hazardous waste practices.
