Insights into HMM's Waste Treatment Practices

In 2023, HMM generated a total of 25,265 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 91.41% of HMM's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 8.59% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.

HMM's Waste Recovery Rate

91%

How much of HMM's waste is recycled or recovered?

In 2023, HMM reported a total waste generation of 25,265 metric tonnes, of which 91.41% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that HMM has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.

Has HMM reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?

Since 2021, HMM's total waste generation increased by 33.4%, including a 12.24% 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, HMM's waste recovery rate increased by 2.62%, but declined by 2.02% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.

Overall, HMM’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.

Insights into HMM’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste

In 2023, HMM generated a total of 25,265 metric tonnes of waste.

Of this amount, 95.15% of HMM'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. 4.58% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How HMM reduced the environmental impact of its waste?

Since 2021, HMM's total waste generation increased by 33.4%, including a 12.24% 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, HMM's hazardous waste share remained stable both over the long term and in 2023, reflecting consistent but static performance in managing hazardous materials.

Overall, HMM is producing more waste without a change in hazardousness, implying that operational growth is not being accompanied by stronger safeguards against environmental and human health risks.

How does HMM treat its hazardous waste?

In 2023, HMM reported that 24,040 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 95.15% of its overall waste generation.

The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (93.07%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that HMM has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
